How to clean/restore this seltzer bottle? - 5/7/2011 10:41:53 PM    Wheelah23 Posts: 4296 Joined: 8/9/2010 From: Glen Ridge, New Jersey Status: online This is an unfortunately broken local spigot top seltzer bottle from probably 1905-1915. I'd bet it's really rare, but the top is snapped off. I'm thinking if can find one of the original spigot tops, I can attach it to my bottle and cover up the fact that it's broken, making it good for displaying. Do you think this would work? How would I attach a spigot top to a bottle like this? Would it be worth restoring? It says "LOESER'S/ D/ MONTCLAIR, N.J.". _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!

Someone could try to repair what you have by cutting a clean edge and then gluing a new neck in place. Perhaps you could also try glue the metal siphon parts right onto what you have but I'd be pessimistic that it would look anywhere near undamaged.
