This is a vivid green Saratoga mineral water in pint size. This kelly green Excelsior is usually found with very faint embossing and with lots of case wear. This example was obtained from the auction of Neil Moore's splendid collection, and it's a much nicer example than others I've ssen. It has very little wear, nice glass character, and the embossing strike is better than most. Smooth-based.
