How do I buy this glass?
see details below

Glass Category:	Commercial
Glass Type:	Two-part metal slider
Label Type:	Stamped in base
Dimensions:	2-1/2 " x 1-5/8 " x 1-5/16"
Edmonson:	Not listed




Notes:
The slider measures 1-9/16" in height when closed. Although the origins of this slider are unknown, the seller noted that "I got this little fella by dumpster diving during the demolition of an old Pittsburgh watering hole, the Mill Site Tavern (Mill Street? It's on Pittsburgh's historic South Side, across from a former steel mill )." In 2008, one of these sliders showed up on eBay matched with a bottle of Prohibition-era Old Quaker whiskey. The pairing needs to be confirmed, but it's a good match and the likely origin on the slider.
