<p>I’m handling props for a play at our community theater. The play is set in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s. The director is a stickler for authenticity. I need to come up with a milk carton with the name/logo of a dairy that was actually selling milk in NYC in those years. So far I’ve identified Farmland and Elmhurst and contacted them to inquire about whether they have any old ads or archives showing what their packaging looked like 20-25 years ago. But it’s a long shot whether they’ll be able to help me, so I’d like to try a few others. Anyone remember back that far? I think this is kind of a hopeless cause, but it’s my first time doing this, and I’d like to come through for the theater. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Check if local grocery stores have archives of their newspaper insert print ads.</p>

<p>Dellwood sold back then, this was the container. I don’t remember when the “hearts” appeared.</p>
<p>here is a TV commercial 1981</p>

<p>We lived in Albany, NY in the early 1990s. I don’t know if they distribute to NYC but Stewarts was very popular:</p>

<p>Dellwood is what I remember from then.</p>
<p>Check on Ebay to see if there is anything like that for sale.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I drank Dellwood in a carton that looked like that when I lived in NYC (1979-1982).</p>
<p>Yes, definitely Dellwood. I left NYC in the mid-80s, but my mother lived there for 20 more years and I visited her often. There was always a Dellwood milk carton in her fridge.</p>
<p>Tuscan is more of a NJ brand.</p>
<p>My local supermarket has sold Tuscan Farms milk since I moved here in the late 1970s.</p>
<p>Yes Tuscan was another one.</p>
<p>here is a picture of what tuscan label looked like before it changed ,

<p>Samlamy, you are remarkable! How did you ever find that SNL clip?</p>
<p>The link to the clip doesnt seem to work. Can you repost?</p>
<p><strong>ETA</strong>* Ahh-- I found the link to the white trash B&B. Enjoyed seeing Patrick Swayze. Miss him…</p>
