    Hey,


    I found one of those 1988 Dublin milk bottles in the attic.
    Would it be worth anything?

    I still have my Italia '90 Premier Dairies milk bottle! Doubt it's worth anything though.

    I've got one of those too!

    You think they'd be worth something if the milk was still in it? :pac:

    Machine-made bottles after c 1920's are generally worth nothing.Mass-produced machine-made bottles that once held mik and are 20 years old are worth utterly,utterly nothing!
    If there were maybe ten or twenty made and they were distributed as "golden tickets..see willie wonka" then they may have had some rarity value.Is it is they were manufactured in the hundreds of thousands.It'll be a hundred years or more before people will pay for them.

    I bet some Yank would pay a few bob for it on ebay.
    1988 is like, the last century.

    Go on Spurious,
    Have a go on e-bay and let us know what you get. If you make a fortune, I will put the one I have up for sale.

    With the amount of them in circulation if everyone got ten quid for each one it would pull this country out of the recession!

    Which is a ridiculous price due to the volume around both of the originals and and repros.

    Everyone retained at least one (and claimed they'd broken it) and there were thousands of repros in 2008

    I really did break mine - deliberately - and stuck it in cement on top of a wall to prevent burglars. The bottles were one of the best things to come out of the ridiculous City Council inspired event which was jumping on the 1985 "Cork 800" bandwagon.
