Just wondering if anyone has any info on this Saratoga, embossed ' Cryser Springs , Saratoga Springs , State of New York. Was it soda or mineral spring bottle? Any other info appreciated.
Also looking for info on the 1st soda, embossed ' Thou Shall not Steal '.
My apologies for the sideways picture !

That is Geyser Springs and is a mineral spring bottle. Pretty common in aqua...that one looks pretty hazed up and is worth maybe $35-40 on the top end.

I love those "Thou Shall Not Steal" blob beers...I have one myself. It is simply a variation on "This Bottle Never Sold". Not a lot of value ($10-15) but just a neat bottle. Dates to early 1880's I believe.

I like that bottle too, for me my favourite "THIS BOTTLE IS NEVER SOLD" embossing is a toss-up between that one and the ridiculously long-winded "THIS BOTTLE IS OUR PROPERTY. ANY CHARGE MADE THEREFORE SIMPLY COVERS ITS USE WHILE CONTAINING GOODS BOTTLED BY US AND MUST BE RETURNED WHEN EMPTY" that takes up literally half the bottle on a couple bottles from Winnipeg.
