DescriptionThis object is a blue-colored molded glass bottle with vertical ribs around its sides. It has an oval-shaped base with a pronounced shoulder that connects to a short, narrow neck. A faint embossed image of an eagle clutching a ribbon is visible on the front of the object. An embossed label beneath the eagle has faded text reading: "LOUISVILLE, KY." Additional text is located beneath but is largely illegible. Small air bubbles and other impurities are visible from within the glass. The object is still intact and in good physical condition.
