Thanks. There was a Decker's dairy near Carbondale, Pa.

The only greens I'm aware of from PA were East End Dairy (see earlier picture on this thread) & anecdotally, someone found a shard from Dolfinger, although I've not seen proof of it.

Here is the other variation of the Alta Crest green quart - the cow,s head is on the opposite side of the bottle.

Two Weckerle green quarts.The differences are quite subtle. Look at the shape of the K in WECKERLE, & the shape if the Q on the heel

Two Big Elm Dairy quarts. The one on the right has the size above the slug plate, but the contents of the slug plates are slightly different as well. Look at the Y in DAIRY relative to the Y in company.

Here are 6 of the 7 variations of Langs Creamery green quarts known to me.
The 2 on the left were made by Owens & the other 4 were made by Reed.
Apart from the text above the slug plates each of the slug plate contents are slightly different.
The Owens cursive text joins at the top where the Reed bottles have a gap at the top of the A & the G
The script on the bottle third from the left is very thick.
If I were the client I would have rejected these.
There are also differences at the end of the underscore under Langs relative to the L.

I found this picture online.
All of the other pictures I've seen - including my example have rather vague embossing on the slug plate.
