New Bottle - 1/2/2012 3:09:13 PM    macandkatina   Posts: 48 Joined: 6/9/2011 Status: offline I was in a local shop and noticed a torpedo shaped bottle sitting on a shelf, not for sell and asked if he'd be willing to part with it. He asked me how much would I offer and I said $10.00 and he sold it to me. On the bottom of this old, greenish colored glass, torpedo shaped bottle is an "A A & co" and the number "598". Is anyone familiar with this bottle? Post #: 1

Your description is not telling us a great deal. Your "Torpedo" may be someone's "Round Bottom." (in reply to macandkatina) Post #: 2

They were imported en masse from England, where it was likely made, and held ginger ale or mineral water, I believe. Probably dates to right around 1915. Still cool lookin'! _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!

The A.A. & Co. mark is, I believe, for Alfred Alexander & Co. of London and several other British cities. "Alfred Alexander & Co Southwick Sunderland & Blaydon 1886 - 1921" From. You might consider the renowned CHUCKLES' CLEANING METHOD. (in reply to macandkatina) Post #: 9
