    I stopped in a thrift store for a few minutes today, I found this for five bucks. I wasn't exactly sure what it was, but I could tell it was old and most likely original.

    It is a Selters bottle.

    "Selters is a German brand of natural mineral water sourced from wells in the area of Selters in Hesse, at the Taunus mountains. The water has been known since the Bronze Age and famous as a natural soda water because of its high concentration of sodium bicarbonate, "soda". The Selters water also contains raised levels of calcium, chloride, magnesium, sulfate and potassium ions. The water is naturally carbonated, over 250 mg/l, but sold in both sparkling and still versions."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selters

    The bottle is made from earthenware and covered in a salt glaze. They were made in different parts of Germany, and sent to England and the US as early as 1845.
    This one is marked "num. 95" under the handle. And the letter W is above. The original cork is inside, but I can't get it out. Enjoy.
