A soda bottle capped and still full with ORIGINAL contents as it came off the production line by the bottler is extremely, extremely rare. Some of the giveaways that it has been re-filled at some time in the intervening years of course range from a newer cap on an older bottle as already mentioned, contents that ARE NOT moldy or contents that are as full or filled higher than the original amount it would have been originally filled with. The seal on the cork cap inevitably fails after 90 plus years as in this case, allowing air in or to cause leaks or evaporation. I have to say that anybody that buys a soda bottle that is capped and full and believes the bottle to have original contents is naive. Having said that, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and $20 plus shipping for a bottle with a correct cap, filled or not, is not out of line. Enjoy your purchase.
