Antique Blue Glass Seltzer Bottle Soda Siphon Argentina Metal Base Bar Decor
Thank you for looking! Please read on below for my Important Policies, the Item Description, and Item Condition.
Follow me because I add new listings for art, decor, vintage items, and antiques daily 🙂
**DESCRIPTION**
This is really a superb example of an antique seltzer bottle, and a perfect addition to your vintage bar decor! A gorgeous and luminous antique seltzer blue bottle with metal siphon top and foot. I is marked in Victorian Style typography, "Soda El International, Andres Bello, A M Cervantes 190 U.T. 59-0416". Around the top it is engraved "Louisa Elena Recouso, Mar Del Plata". It is marked on the on the bottom with MYB.
It's very hefty with thick glass a metal accents and weighs in at over 5 lbs before being packaged for shipping.
This is one of many items I'm selling from my personal collection which has been collected from estate sales and antique stores and family over 30+ years, mostly in New Mexico.  I just realized it's become a little too large and it's time to let some of these beauties go to other people who will enjoy them.
**CONDITION **
Sold as I found it, but it looks to be in very good pre-owned condition. On close examination I see no chips, cracks, repairs, stains, etc.
There is some wear to the chrome finish of the lever and top as to be expected of a 100+ item. There is some fiber at the bottom of the inside. I've never opened it to remove it, but I  don't recommend using an antique bottle. It is best to be used as a antique decoration.
This item is 100+ years old and in antique condition.

**DIMENSIONS** approximately 12.5" Tall x 4" Diameter
***SHIPPING (and handling) TIMES***
I am a full time teacher.  I have my shipping time set to a 3 business day span because there are often crunch times with my work that tighten my time available. I give myself more time to ship your item to you so that I can pack it properly and protect it. I see this as a better option than to rush and risk a tragedy for you and me both. If you absolutely need a faster handling time, please contact me BEFORE you bid or purchase, and I can let you know if your time needs are possible for me to do at that particular date.
***PACKAGING***
I am an online seller/shipper with many years of experience shipping fragile items and an excellent track record of successful delivery of art and decor objects. Please rest assured that your auction win will be packed with care.
I use pre-used shipping materials with excellent integrity to offset my business's environmental foot print. If it is not possible for me to use strong and clean reusable materials for an item, I will use new recycled materials.
***PAYMENTS***
Immediate payment after an auction win is very kind and greatly appreciated. All eBay auction wins and purchases, however, MUST be paid for within 96 hours per eBay's policies.  If you can not meet this obligation, I will be forced to open a case for non-payment after 96 hours has passed. Please plan accordingly BEFORE you bid or buy.
***Courtesy Policy*** As a Montessori and art teacher of 20 years, grace and courtesy in my dealings is very important to me. Human beings should treat each other with respect and courtesy, even in times of stress and disappointment. I promise to never belittle, insult, or use foul language with you, and have the same expectations of you toward me. If this is to happen I will likely return your money in full and cancel the sale.
I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone - particularly those who chose discourtesy, disrespect, insults, and/or foul language.
***Important Notice for International Customers***
All customers are solely responsible for all import taxes and fees, etc. imposed by their country. There is no way for me to predict the amount for you, as well. Please take this personal responsibility into account if you purchase my items from outside the USA. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
***I do not ship until payment is received. I do not accept cash or checks.***
*** IF I offer free shipping it may be Ground (either USPS or UPS) or Media Mail depending on the costs due to size, weight, or distance. These methods can take a bit longer than Priority. If you would like the item faster, please contact me and I can give you a calculated cost for your area for faster shipping services such as Priority or Priority Express (which would be the responsibility of the buyer.)***
***If you have a problem with your purchase please contact me and I will do what I can to work it out with you***
