(Pics) Commer bottle float van

What a cool little model! Bet it was hard to keep the milk cold on a warm day!!

Hauling milk in Mississippi in a truck like that would be a problem because it would be sour by the end of the day. Love the model and your pictures.

Lol, that is a good observation, Tony ! You would have to race around at top speed to try and avoid delivering room temperature milk. 

If deliveries went by the alphabet, you would probably want to be "Mike AeTorrice" rather than "Mike ZeTorrice".......  

Bob, that doesn't sound like a recipe to get people to drink more milk, especially in a Mississippi summertime !  

I have several of these in my MBox collection.  Here is a decal variation:

@jack-dodds Oh my goodness Jack; it's a beautiful Bottle Baby!

Cool machine 2.

...cool little truck.   I love milk, when I have less than 2 gallons in the house, I get nervous 😬 😬     Once again, the condition of your childhood toys is remarkable!  😯 😮  

Nice looking little truck, and for a model that old, it is in excellent condition.

Lol, since I generally didn't later use firecrackers to re-enact a pile-up or disaster, a number of old toy vehicles actually survived relatively intact.  

Not 1:64 but for any milk float fans Corgi did a nice 1:43 version of the same Commer 3/4 ton van, also as a milk float.

It is a good-looking Corgi model and perhaps this 1/43 version is not so commonly seen. You can be about 1/3 more thirsty with this one's capacity !  

I remember the full sized milk vans (floats) from my youth in northern England. No problems ther with being too hot. I do remember frozen milk.

I still have the Matchbox/Lesney and Corgi versions.

Here is the 7a original Lesney horse drawn milk float.

That is one hard-working horse ! It is certainly a Matchbox replica I haven't seen around a lot.

Quite a heavy load for a small truck. Sweet.
