Now I need to find the Exposition Quart from Delray to go with this American Quart. I know someone who has one but he reminds me of that Actor Charlston Heston when he said you can pry it from my cold dead hands. Leon.


More like the Rolling Stones advice , "You can't always get what you want."

After 10 Years of trying to obtain this Bottle I finally acquired it. wasn't a easy task. I once dug a broken busted up Quart version in about 10 pieces & only half there. Been wanting a whole one ever since. As far as I know this is the only one known to exist in quart size. Gotta be others out there somewhere? The smaller pint size I dug myself & also extremely rare in amber color but a small handful known which is not many. Past owner did a very nice job of Painting the embossing in Patriotic red white & blue colors. Leon.View attachment 254869View attachment 254870

No Glass maker, nothing on bottom. lower heel in back is some very very very small slight lumps about impossible to make out but almost look like 11 4 3 or 1? 4 3 but way too small to decipher for sure. Leon.
