July 2026 Update Updates to the Indiana Bottle Collectors website will be temporarily paused during the month of July 2026 as we work behind the scenes on a major reorganization of the site. Over the past several months, it has become clear that maintaining a comprehensive reference covering the entire state of Indiana requires more time than can realistically be dedicated to the project. To allow for more frequent updates and a higher-quality resource, the website will soon shift its primary focus to Northwest Indiana, with special emphasis on Lake, Porter, and LaPorte Counties. The Indiana Hutchinson Bottle and Indiana Embossed Dairy Bottle reference sections will continue to cover the entire state and will remain active and updated for the whole state. However, most other sections outside Northwest Indiana will no longer receive regular updates. Additional information about these changes, including the reasons behind them and what visitors can expect moving forward, will be announced soon. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project by sharing photographs, historical information, and bottle discoveries. Your contributions have helped make this website possible, and we appreciate your continued support as we begin this new chapter.

Indiana Slug Plate Embossed Dairies

Not sure what qualifies? View examples of slug plate, shoulder embossed, and pyro bottles.

This page features slug plate embossed milk bottles and jars only. A slug plate is the round embossed area on a bottle showing the dairy name and, when available, the location.

Only one example of each embossing variation is shown, since different bottle sizes often share the same slug plate.

Have another example? Use the user submission form and submit well-lit, full-view photos of the entire bottle. The slug plate will be cropped for display here.

Select any bottle and click “See Bottler” to view additional sizes, historical information, and photos when available.
