Here's my big bottle from the show. Special thanks to Tom (the Kid) who arranged a deal that included me. I could not have purchased this bottle outright, so, Tom was the catalyst that made it happen. Thanks again, Tom.

This first shot shows the front of the bottle. Yes, the color is pretty much correct. It's that apple green. On the negative side, the bottle had some heavy wear and was overtumbled to compound the issue. It also has one of those flash cracks through the blob (which I think is at least in part due to the pressure from the stopper). On the positive side, this thing is so rare that any example is extrememly hard to find and this is whole, with nice color and it is pretty crude. Check out the second photo showing how mis-filled it is on the inside back. There is a little channel or pit where the last few drops of soda were going to end up. Very nice!
