Pictured here is a fantasy or fake war slogan quart milk bottle. This design NEVER was an original war slogan design that was used on milk bottles. Someone has taken a clear plain quart milk bottle & applied this picture on the bottles. These started to surface in auctions & flea markets a few years ago. Some dealers have tried to sell these as original vintage war slogans, but this is definitely not accurate.
They do the same with Pinbacks but there are several good Hitler slogans that are real, I'm glad you pointed that out so maybe a few less will get taken.
Still a nice bottle so long as the owner knows.
FANTASY items are bad in many antique/ collectible areas.
I hate them all! Too often they are misrepresented. These type things cause many new/ young collectors to pay for an education.

Thanks for the comments.....awareness is the reason I posted this picture. I've seen too many new collectors bid heavily thinking this is a very rare war slogan, only to be shocked when they learn it is a fake.
Good job-- if only ONE collector finds it here BEFORE buying one with the bs story, it has been a benefit.
