Hi Brandon, at that height I can all but guarantee it's a wine bottle from most likely Italy. A pic would confirm but I'm confident 1980ish.

Bubbles aren't always the most accurate indicator. I have a Bromo Seltzer that is an Automatic Bottle Machine, should be clear as a bell but its loaded with bubbles. I have to agree with the 1980's wine. Email me the pic(s) and IO can post them for you. Swiz

dont know how to email pics either,when it comes to computers im clueless,funny how they put something like wine in a bottle shaped like a fish,im confused about the seams though,it runs from the base to the base of the neck,then about a quarter in. to the side is what appears to be a partial seam that runs from the beginning of the lip down the neck and tapers off about an inch into the body

The center one looks clear, these held Italian wine and they made them in the late 50's thru the 90's I believe. They even sell them today with flavored oils and dry pasta in them. Cool to see in the window, they come in many colors, and if you do a "fish" search on e-bay in the bottles category you can make a nice display of them....Jim
