				INVENTORY HIGHLIGHTS
		These rare predecessors of the seltzer bottle are very difficult to find. The earliest examples were originally made in Paris. The double sphere-shaped seltzogene was the later replacement for the less reliable gasogene. Note the decorative porcelain base. The smaller seltzogenes were ideally suited for picnics and traveling. The "spirit case" or tantalus came in either single, double, or triple bottle variants.	SELTZOGENE Followed the Gasogene and was later replaced by the seltzer bottle. TANTALUS "He indicated a spirit case in the corner." (SCAN)
