DescriptionThis object is a molded glass bottle comprised of bluish-green glass. The bottle has an oval-shaped base and a wide shoulder that connects the base of the bottle to a short neck. An image of an eagle holding a ribbon and sitting upon arrows is visible at the back of the object. The eagle stands on an embossed oval with small text reading: "PITTSBURGH, PA." On the opposite side of the bottle, stamped text above the image of a skier reads: "FOR PIKE'S PEAK," but it is very faded. The skier stands on a label reading: "OLD RYE." Air bubbles along with small impurities can be seen from within the glass material.
