I have 5 cans from Dads old dairy. He sold cream for several years. He had a milk tank before that but quit when they wanted everyone to go pipeline. But you could sell cream in cans. He fed the separated milk to heifer calves and put some in barrels with whole oats for slopping the pigs. I did one with a picture and colors of each of my favorite tractor brands, and different logo stickers over the years. Case (400), Farmall (H) but with the white used on 504 also, Oliver (66), Cockshutt (660) and JD (2520)....James

Jw, We milked too but went to pipeline/bulk milk about 1960 in order to remain grade A. We farmed with IHC tractors primarily. I did one can in Red and Cream colors, added a IHC decal on the side and a Holstein on the lid. I left it my dad's deck by his glider. Good fun and nostalgic.
 
There's an Amish cheese plant here that still takes cans. I'd like to ride along, maybe sub for a day, but I don't believe I could go back to it anymore.
