Description

FIG. 1 is a view from the side of one embodiment of a body for a bottle showing my new design; and,

FIG. 2 is a view from below the boDy for a bottle of FIG. 1.

This body for a bottle appears the same when viewed from any side; therefore, orthogonal views of this design are unnecessary. The finish at the top of the bottle has been shown in dashed lines and forms no part of the design.
