Vintage 50's Lostens Dairy Chesapeake City Elkton Maryland Wood Metal Milk Crate

Description: Vintage 1950's heavy and very well made wood (oak?) and metal milk crate from Losten's Dairy of Elkton, Maryland on the Chesapeake Canal near Chesapeake City. Losten's began operations in the 1920's and went out of business in the 1980's. The black heat branded recessed printing on both sides reads "Lostens Dairy, Elkton, Md". Each corner has a reinforced metal riser bracket that makes these crates stackable. The crate measures 15" by 12 1/4" by 10 1/2" tall (with the metal riser brackets included in the measurement) and weighs about 13 lbs. The sides are made of wood with reinforced metal corners and a heavy wire bottom. There are 4 factory handle cut-outs on both sides and both ends. There are 2 horizontal tiers of heavy wire partitions (three tiers counting the base) with vertical metal supports. This set-up holds 12 quart milk bottles. The very heavy crate displays beautifully with great wood grain patterns. The wood graining would probably be more visible with a linseed oil or other wood conditioner application. The black branding branded stamped printing is in good to very good condition as pictured. One side has stronger printing than the other. The crate is in good used solid condition with great patina. It has a missing piece of metal strip on the bottom of one side that causes the crate to flex a little. It is an easy fix if necessary. One wood slat is cracked on one side above the printing as pictured. The crate will need a good cleaning (or not). It is a great retro mid-century modern item for storage - wine rack, firewood, flower vases, micro-beer brewer, garden tools etc. This item is sold as is and as pictured with returns not accepted. $30.00 USPS or FedEx postage.
