Homemade Seltzer
I have long been enamored with antique seltzer bottles. However, I decided that I should wait until I stumble upon one in a resale store rather than pay the premium collectors prices that I typically encounter online. I am also somewhat unclear as to which antique bottles accept carbon dioxide cartridges to aerate liquids and which are simply delivery mechanisms.
Recently, I have noticed modern versions up for sale. They are reasonably priced and certainly take CO2 cartridges. I may have to buy one next year to employ for summer cocktails.
Has anyone had experience with either the antique or modern seltzer bottles?

The NYT had a review of some seltzer options recently. It's at

I'm considering one myself, but to date, all of my experience with seltzer bottles comes from watching the Three Stooges.
