Until recently, local collectors were aware of three different Uncle Sam's Dairy, E. J. Parry bottles from Utica, N.Y. Two of them, a quart and a pint had the embossing as the Pint-A bottle shown below left. The third was a quart pyro (painted label) bottle with Uncle Sam on one side and an eagle on the other. The pyro quart has "Utica, NY" on it, but the embossed bottles do not.

At our 2009 show Jon Landers found the Pint-B bottle shown above on member Jim Bum's sales table. Jim believes it was from a group of bottles he bought from member Frank Tomaino. Jon bought the bottle at about noon, so the bottle had sat there for three hours. As can be seen, the Pint-B bottle's embossing is more detailed and really looks more like Uncle Sam.

Consequently, there are at least four different Uncle Sam's Dairy bottles from Utica. If a quart bottle embossed like Pint-B were to be found, it would not be a big surprise; but would be a nice find. All four bottles are very scarce. Member Jim Cookinham is known to have dug both the quart and pint examples embossed like the Pint-A bottle below right.
