Interesting thought... It would certainly be more economical than the dozens of plastic water bottles we each go through in a year... It could also get expensive, though.
ANYWAY... I won this bottle off eBay the other day. I know it's not too old, but at least it adds some color to my collection. Before, the colors ranged from clear, to light aqua, and all the way to... dark aqua LOL! I don't know much about the age of seltzer bottles... Any ideas on how old this one is? I know the pedestal based ones are the oldest... mine isn't that. It's acid etched, not ACL, so I'm thinking it's between the 20's and the 40's. It also says "BOTTLE MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA" on the base, so it's post WWI. I like the light cobalt color.
