Vintage Alta-Dena Dairy Milk Crate 1975 Metal Wire Green Plastic Base Industrial

This is an authentic 1975 vintage milk crate from the legendary Alta-Dena Dairy (California). It features the classic industrial hybrid construction: a heavy-duty galvanized steel wire frame paired with a durable, spider-web patterned green plastic base. The corner posts are clearly embossed with "ALTA-DENA DY" and "75," marking its half-century heritage. This particular unit has developed a beautiful, uniform "white rust" patina, giving it a soft matte silver-grey aesthetic that is highly sought after for modern farmhouse and industrial chic decor.
