Promotional dairy pick distributed by George Lesso of Oakfield, circa 1950. Back in those days, milk came in glass bottles with a circular neck. A cardboard cap (see the Elland Dairy photo) was mechanically pushed into the center of the neck to seal the milk. On the outside of the neck a metal cap was crimped around the edges to provide further sealing. The metal caps were sometimes difficult to remove, resulting in lacerated fingers and mild oaths. Dairy picks such as this one eased the task.
