One wooden crate is clearly stenciled "OSTERMAN'S DAIRY 10 TEWKSBURY, MASS 60" and holds a full complement of bottles (some with white styrofoam bead filler, which appears to be a later display or protective addition in at least one bottle). Condition: Used vintage condition. Bottles show expected wear including surface dust, minor scuffs, label fading or chipping consistent with age and handling. Some caps are present and original; others are missing or replaced. Glass is generally clear with no major cracks observed in photos. The wooden crate shows weathering, paint wear, and sturdy construction typical of mid-20th century dairy crates. One bottle contains white styrofoam pellets (display or shipping protection). All items are sold as-is; please examine the multiple high-resolution photos carefully as they form part of the description. These make excellent display pieces for farmhouse, retro kitchen, dairy memorabilia, or bottle collectors. Local pickup or shipping with extreme care recommended due to glass fragility. Dimensions (approximate, from photos): Standard quart milk bottles 9-10" tall. Crate holds 12 bottles in metal grid. Pickup category timeslot {A}
