This pint-sized milk can is made of tinned metal. It is oval in shape, and has a hinged lid, a brass handle for carrying, and another smaller brass handle attached to the hinge. The hinge is marked 'The Milk Standard Can Trade Mark', the lid with the name 'John Bucknell', and the body of the can 'Coley Park Farm, Reading'. The name of the maker on the body of the can is very faint, but it appears to be 'Dairy Outfit Co.'. It was used at Coley Park Farm, in Reading, for the delivery of milk to customers.
