i picked up this really great bottle yesterday but i can't find anything on it. it is a dark amber color and textured all over like a tree, even the bottom. the only embossing is the name "ruf - amber" on the shoulder, then "trade mark" under that and "registered us pat office" under that. that and an L inside a sideways oval are the only embossing on it. i think it's a root bear or soda but i'm not 100% sure. i guess with a amber in the name it could be a beer. any help will greatly appreciated.

Probably is a ginger ale bottle based off of that ad. Might have been a stronger flavoured one, since the heavily embossed amber sodas I've seen have tended to be ginger beers.
