Bottle Cap

Bottle Cap

1930s-1950s

Alabama College (University of Montevallo)

Alabama College, later the University of Montevallo, established a dairy to provide the school with easy access to milk and butter. Eventually, the school began to sell the milk to local grocers. They used glass bottles with these types of cardboard caps. The bottle cap is undated, so it is impossible to know exactly when it was created, but the school used these types of caps from the 1930s to the 1950s.
