US EditionMilk Bottle Collector Doesn’t Drink Milk
- Steve Wheeler, a 76-year-old from Malvern, Worcestershire, has amassed more than 26,000 milk bottles, making his collection the biggest of its kind in the UK.
- His interest began in the mid-1980s during a walk in the Brecon Beacons, Wales, when he found a bottle from a closing dairy and started collecting.
- Wheeler travels across the UK visiting farms, sometimes visiting up to 26 farms in one day, and collects bottles from Britain and overseas, including rare types and historic pieces.
- His collection represents about 20% of all UK milk bottle types ever made, weighs around 16 tonnes, could be valued up to £250,000, and includes bottles from every European country.
- Despite having avoided drinking milk for over six decades due to his strong dislike for it, Wheeler intends to preserve his extensive milk bottle collection, hopes to establish a museum to display it, and supports charitable causes by selling duplicate bottles.
