FREE: Antique Napa Valley Soda Water Bottle

The listing, Antique Napa Valley Soda Water Bottle has ended.

This bottle was found by me at the site of the old ruins of the Jackson's Napa Valley Soda Springs, high in the hills above the city of Napa, California. Now famous for it's world class wines, the Napa Valley is where I grew up, and hiked to this location with a friend, in 1975. No one has rebuilt this magnificent resort even to this day. It was eerie, and lovely, the walls of the 80 foot high stone circular rotunda and grand hall are still standing. I saw this bottle gleaming from within an exposed tree root, only a bit of it, and was so pleased to dig it and find it intact! This bottle has been through the fire described in the historical website I have posted below. It shows a bit of distortion, only a tiny bit, because of the heat it was exposed to. It is double seamed, and the pontil reads "Contents One Fluid Ounce" Front plainly and very clearly raised and embossed reads "JACKSON'S NAPA SODA', it's back is also clear and lovely raised printing exclaiming" A NATURAL MINERAL WATER RECARBONATED , JACKSON'S, THIS BOTTLE IS NEVER SOLD"
Please see the following 2 web sites I've posted below, to view where this lovely old bottle comes from, and the history behind it.
