Comments/description: Rare quart! Especially as such a clean example with quality green metallic. Sporadic pinpoint spotting and small nicks. Only a couple of larger spots. Light crease below the R of READING on the front may not show well in photos. Excellent display. This ALE label is notably scarcer than the matching Beer in indoor condition. 1 of only 3 on-grade examples we have had in 29 years! All original. For questions, feedback, or to sell a similar item contact Dan via email.
