Hello out there! This looks like a fantastic site. I was not a collector untill recently when my father began giving me a lot of old things that he'd forgotten he had. Amongst the things were a number of bottles. For the most part he didn't know much about them, other than where he got them. Most of them were picked up while scuba diving while stationed at Guantanamo in Cuba. Anyway, the first item is a bottle that says "KARL RUTTER, NEW YORK, XII N" on the bottom, and "this bottle not to be sold," on the side. The bottle is about 9 1/2" tall. If anyone can date it and/or tell me more about it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Kerry
