Definately made for the US market as they are both marked on the rim "Compliments of E. Porter Brewing, Joliet IL". This brewery stayed in operation in defiance of State and Federal prohibition laws until the feds destroyed it in 1922. Two shipments were destroyed by federal agents (probably Elliott Ness's Crew) that totaled over $500,000 at a quarter a glass. THAT"S alot of beer! Very interesting history attached to that brewery!
