A friend who works as a gardener at the Winterthur estate said she was pruning forsythia the other day and found a dirt-filled but intact quart glass bottle from the old Winterthur dairy. She's found pieces before, but never a whole bottle, and even days later she was still brimming with excitement. The bottle reads "One Quart Liquid" and "Winterthur Farms, Winterthur, Del." She did some research and learned that the dairy stopped making the embossed bottles in 1932/33, switching to bottles with paper labels, which means her bottle is from 1933 or earlier.
