Hey Leon, good show. Congrats on that Expo beer!

Thanks. Went back the next day hoping for a pile of Expositions & other goodies but NO, Not to be. Found a couple of Medicine bottles & some shards but no pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow. Did find a Pot of Coffee. I think they call this Bennington? Is it Bennington? LEON.

yes it's Rebecca at the well more likely Rockingham. it may go far back as 1820's

I thought it looked like a person on side. Found at very bottom, about 6 feet down. Is it worth anything? Spout is broke. LEON.

Another Pic of Exposition. It's got Beautiful embossing in my opinion. Will look nice after Tumbling. LEON.

even with the broken spout you may get 30.00 bucks. The Exposition blob is defiantly a 30.00to 40.00 dollar bottle .

The last Exposition I seen sell on ebay & the only 1 I ever seen sell on ebay about 2 or 3 years ago got about $300. I bid $200 but was easily outbid. If you can get me one for $30-$40 I'll buy it. THANKS.

bumping old post of my favorite beer bottle find. the Exposition. since then I did find it's big brother the Quart but it was busted up in 100 pieces. I glued the pieces together & still only got half the bottle. may have a pic of it on my computer somewhere? LEON.
