Owner Comments:

The only listed piece from the second Portola Festival. This was a three-day only event held mainly as an advertisement for the upcoming 1915 Pan-Pac Expo, hence items from this version are even harder to locate. This HK has got to be one of the toughest to locate in any condition. Ex-Weber, only the second in Unc (or close) that I noted in a long time- I looked for 15 years, off and on. I do remember one that sold on eBay that I am still kicking myself for passing on ("What! Someone paid $700 for a So-Called Dollar! They must be crazy! - oh well, live and learn)
