Description

Another rare milk can—a large one—from the Great Northern Railroad. This can was from the Syver Hansen farm in Brocket, ND, and was shipped via the GN to the Lakeville Creamery Company in Lakeville, MN, and then returned via the GN. Original brass tag is on the can. We sold a Chicago and Northwestern milk can in our last auction for $1,000. This is another rare can and only one of nine we have ever seen.
