Cordie’s 100 Year Old Milk Pitcher

This milk pitcher was given to Cordie Davis for her 5th birthday, in 1910, making it more than 100 years old.

Sylvia Morris wrote this note about the pitcher in 2007:

This milk pitcher was given to my mother Cordie Mae Davis for her birthday when she was 5 years old. She lived in the home of Nannie Sue Carrol and Mrs. Carrol served as a grandmother figure. She told my mother that she was giving her a present that would turn yellow with age. My mother cherished the pitcher and told me the story many times over the years.
