Description: Antique / vintage MILKINE malted milk bottle, as pictured. Bottle dates to between 1894-1903, as the company was only in business from 1894 to 1903, when it was sold to Borden (see below). Glass has a faint green tinge to it. Stands about 5 1/2" tall. Small rim nick, visible in pics. We've given this bottle a light wipe with a damp rag but have not attempted to clean interior. Please refer to pics for evidence of condition and email with questions. Thanks! Company information about Milkine found online:One manufacturer in Wisconsin (the Elgin company, started production in 1894, sold to Borden’s in 1903), called their malted milk “Milkine”. It was a mixture of 50% powdered cow’s milk, 22% malted barley, 22 % flour, 5% beef (something), 1% lime (the chemical) and salt. They recommended that you add water, hot or cold, to make a beverage that would give you just about everything you needed for good nutrition. Borden renamed the product from “Milkine” to Meadow Malted Milk, and removed beef from the ingredients.
