During the early 20th century, the Hutter family operated a dairy at Sandusky, then called Sandusky Farm. Ferdinand Lee Hutter owned the farm and dairy during this time. Sometime the late 1940s the barn burned down. These Sandusky milk bottles ocassionally appear in antique shops and on eBay.
Glass bottles are used for milk and are generally reusable and returnable. Milk bottles are used mainly for doorstep delivery of fresh milk by milkmen: retail store sale is available in some regions (with bottle deposit). After customers have finished the milk they are expected to rinse the empty bottles and leave it on the doorstep for collection, or return it to the retail store. The standard size of a bottle varies with location, common sizes are pint, quart, Litre, etc.
