The bottle has six raised panels with F.X. Spitznagel on one and Buffalo NY on another. It is 7" high and there is an embossed double X on the bottom.

Thank you cc for finding that information. I would not have guessed soda water as the contents but that might explain the hole in the stopper. Had a dozen or so bottles as an add on lot with the fruit jars I wanted and this was one of them. Is there one difinitive bottle book? I have several old ones but looking for one that has much more information. Thanks

There's not one definitive book on sodas that I'm aware of, most times you just have to constantly keep looking for info on a bottle you're interested in. Good luck with your search.

Never seen one of those before myself, but it sure is a cool bottle. Nice one, clockworks!

Again thanks for the comments and help with this bottle. I am undecided as to what I am going to do but I may put it on ebay. With 1600+ fruit jars there is no way I am going to start another line of bottles to keep. There is no more room sadly. Thanks again.

Ive owned several Spitznagle bottles in the past in various shades of light green and aqua-nothing wild.But up until this time me and everyone else i know that has/had one thought it was a hutch.Other than the neck being ever slightly long-it sure looks like a hutch....Interesting looking closure & thanks for the pic.
