It was not easy to get a good photo of this bottle.  Maybe I can get a better photo.  Even when the bottle is well lit and well positioned, the embossing has so many words that with the curvature of the bottle you can't capture all the text in a single photo.

The bottle is in great shape.  No cracks or chips.  It also has some great grip bumps around the neck.

The maker's mark is a 5/W, which indicates Winslow Glass Works, circa 1912 - 1927.  I read elsewhere that the Seminole Milk Company operated 1926 - 1936.  I'd place this bottle around 1927.  Great piece of Florida dairy history.
