| In the late 40's and early 50's the Borden milkman delivered dairy products as well as milk to homes. My mother bought cottage cheese in colorful aluminum glasses about 6 inches tall.
I have a few and need ideas about repurposing them. One idea I have is to invert them and somehow add clappers to make bells. Put on your "thinking caps" as my first grade teacher would say. Wonder where that expression came from. |

| I remember them well. Now that you've reminded me, I want to get Mom's if she still has them. But I may want to drink out of them. I often need unbreakable glasses and if I recall correctly they were much nicer to drink from than plastic. STill curious to see what you come up with tho! |

| Those are pretty collectible now ... are you sure you want to re-purpose them ? ;) |

| I'd use them to drink out of or eat out of. Mix a milk shake in one it will stay cold a long time!! Enjoy! |
