Here is a "Fairmont" Dairy milk can. It also says something else under the Fairmont, but I can't make it out. The lid we can make out "Dairy" but above that says another word once again, but we can't make it out. This milk can is farm fresh and what we mean by that is that it is rusty and crusty and shows obvious signs of use and wear. We don't see any major damage. We did notice a very small hole in the lid which we believe was originally in the lid. The lid we attempted to take off to look inside and take photos but can't get it off. We will leave that mystery to the new owner.
Please check all photos as they are the best representation of condition.

Fairmont Dairy Farm Fresh Vintage Heavy Steel 10‑Gallon Milk Can with Lid
Vintage Farm Equipment | Rustic Industrial Decor
This vintage Fairmont Dairy 10‑gallon milk can is made from heavy‑gauge steel and includes its original steel lid. The can features the raised “Fairmont” marking on the side along with an additional partially worn word that is no longer fully legible. The lid also carries a worn manufacturer marking with “Dairy” clearly visible beneath it. The lid cannot be removed and appears to be seated incorrectly, consistent with age and long‑term farm use. This authentic farm can shows true working‑life character, including surface rust, aged patina, and a small hole in the lid as shown. Measuring 24 inches tall with a 13‑inch base diameter, this piece is ideal for collectors, farmhouse décor, garden accents, or restoration projects.
