Looking for Gettysburg Katalysines , any color

Where are the Katalysines hiding

I have two GKW monogram quarts, base embossed Whitney Glassworks, dark aqua and deep green. These are different from the more classic Saratoga style quarts that have Gettysburg Katalysine Water spelled out in a circle.

Here they are...although this picture really doesn't do them justice.

Can you tell me a little about those, please.[8|]

I don't know the history behind these bottles, but they are listed as scarce, and come in light green, aqua, teal blue, deep forest green, and citron. Other than the two I have, I have only seen two aquas listed for sale. I would love to come across a citron variant. Here are a couple more pics...

Thanks, I always wondered if that was Gettysburg PA. I see them around here every so often but I didnt know if they were rare. I see the Saratogo style ones. The ones I have seen have been emerald green or olive green.
