My brother sent me photos of this old bottle that my father had in one of his sheds. I remember my Dad talking about it, but I don't recall where he got it from. 
Are there any bottle books that would list a value for it?
It came with a stopper (pictured) and says, "Jacob Spahn - La Porte, Ind."
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I found the following info on Jacob Spahn:
JACOB SPAHN
The local soda water, mineral water and ginger ale business is in the hands of Jacob Spahn, who makes everything in the line mentioned and supplies the trade of LaPorte and all the neighboring towns. He is a master in his branch of business and his customers understand that his goods have quality and his dealings are fair. His factory is at 601 Washington street at the corner of Clay, in a building specially constructed for the purpose. Mr. Spohn is a native of Chicago, the year of his birth being 1867, and it was in the Chicago public schools that he carried on his studies. Twelve years ago he came to this city to engage with G. H. Wagner in the bottling business under the firm name of Spahn & Wagner. This firm bought out the old established business of Charles Labes. In 1896 the firm was dissolved. Mr. Spahn continuing the business alone as the purchaser of Wagner's interest, and the trade has shown a perceptible increase every year. Mr. Spahn keeps posted and avails himself of all modern improved methods in manufacture, so that his product is at all times equal to any in the market. He is an Odd Fellow, a Knight of Pythias and an Eagle and personally he is an agreeable and popular gentleman, a faithful friend and a valuable citizen.
