Time in a Bottle
Mark R. Smith saves time in a bottle, literally. His antique bottle collection preserves the memory of local dairies, pharmacies, hotels and more. It also tells the story of a time when milkmen roamed the earth, when an outhouse was a man’s castle, and when just about anything could be labeled “medicine.”
Listen as Mark walks us through the history of bottle making, the local businesses of Sayville and Oakdale, and his equally-obsessive love of ceramics.

My parents William and Edna Wood owned Model Farm Dairy and I have been searching the internet for bottles or milk boxes with the dairies logo . I found your website and saw the milk bottle with the Model Farm Dairy logo and wondering if you could help me locate another bottle or milk box.

My father was one of the first – and the last – Southside Dairy milkmen (the owner, John Beintema, was my godfather). I’d like to find a Southside Dairy bottle for sale.
