1935 Blue Seltzer Soda Siphon Bottle Schroeder Hotels Milwaukee Czech Wausau WI

Description

AMAZING find!
Here is a 1935 Blue Tinted Paneled Seltzer Soda Bottle etched with "Schroeder Hotels" on front and "Made in Czechoslovakia,"  "Siphon by Schneier,"   "1935 APC" etched on the bottom.  The top spout is clearly marked "Northside Bott. Works Wausau, WIS."  The bottle is about 12" tall and about 3" across at the base.  I had a difficult time photographing the bottle.  I took all the pictures outside with natural light.  It is my opinion that the bottle looks even nicer in person than in the pictures.  I couldn't get the "Schroeder Hotels" engraving to show well in the pictures even though I tried several different backgrounds.  Sorry.
What an absolute treasure.  This bottle has so much going for it...the color, the condition, the "Schroeder Hotels" etching, the positive date of manufacture and country of origin, the "Northside Bottling Works Wausau,WIS" markings, etc.  I honestly did not have enough room in the title to list all these great attributes.  I am thrilled to list this as I believe it to be a rare seltzer bottle for all the reasons listed previous. It appears to have a glass tube inside as well.
Disclaimer:
I am NOT a bottle collector, so I do not know everything that makes a bottle collectible.  If you have a specific question or need another picture, please feel free to contact me.  I have done NOTHING to clean this bottle because I do not have the proper knowledge.  I did not even take the top off to empty the little bit of water still in the bottle.
If you don't know about the Schroeder Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, just look it up on eBay and there are tons of old post cards showing the huge, elegant hotel.  I believe that it was opened in 1927.  It has been sold several times since.  A simple Google search will give you more info if you are interested.  This is truly a historic piece!
I do know that this piece is stunningly beautiful.  The engraving, the color, the condition, etc.  Would display beautifully.  I saw no cracks.  The bottle has some small nicks but they may be too small to even show up in the pictures.  Awesome used condition!  It is very attractive!  Certainly a conversation piece.
The bottle is heavy and will need to be protected very carefully with packing materials for shipping.  The weight will make postage a little on the higher side.  I don't mark up shipping, so if you think postage is too high, blame the post office, not me.  Better yet, please don't bid.  It is frustrating if people complain that postage is too high when there is NOTHING that I can do about that.
I sell quality items and I ship them safely at the lowest price I can.
Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding.  Ships to USA only.  Will ship USPS Priority Mail figured to your zip code.  I do NOT mark up shipping, nor do I charge a handling fee.  I do combine shipping on multiple purchases, but you have to ask.  I figured the bottle, packaging and box to weigh 6 pounds.  If it ends up less than that, I will partially refund shipping in increments.  I treat you as I would expect to be treated.  I am happy when I break even on shipping.
I give positive feedback after I receive it.  That way I know that you are 100% satisfied and that our transaction is complete.
Thanks for your interest, this is an absolutely  beautiful and historic piece!  Good Luck!
