The soda siphon (also spelled syphon), also known as the seltzer bottle or siphon seltzer bottle is a device for dispensing carbonated or soda water. As early as 1790, the concept of an “aerosol” was introduced in France, with self-pressurized carbonated beverages. Soda syphons were popular in the 1920s and 1930s. At that time, there were seltzermen and seltzer fillers all over the country. The rise of bottled carbonated beverages and the destruction of many of the siphon manufacturers’ plants in Eastern Europe during World War II led to a decline in their popularity in the years after the war.
