RE: soda bottle - 10/23/2005 10:26:42 AM    Miles   Posts: 248 Joined: 9/6/2005 From: New York Status: offline That looks like stretch marks on the neck. Usually torpedo soda bottles were made in the 1870's in England. Some more common ones are Shweppes torpedos that go for 8-10 dollars. Yours has great charm so if you want to sell it you could get over that. (in reply to botil) Post #: 4

RE: soda bottle - 10/23/2005 1:17:03 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5160 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline Judging from the style of embossing I'd guess that is a pretty early bottle. You need to find someone that has some experience with early english bottles. Give it a little time , someone will pop up with an answer. You have some very nice bottles, did you dig them? _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to botil) Post #: 5

VERY nice bottle and I hope someone will be able to give you a bit of company info etc. (in reply to botil) Post #: 6

Thanks for information. (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 9

RE: soda bottle - 10/24/2005 11:41:17 AM    angemarie   Posts: 18 Joined: 10/23/2005 Status: offline Hi. I have a couple similar bottles- without the writing. My grandfather told me they were used in ships when the cargo was loaded off, they used rocks to load down the ship and in between the rocks, they would place these bottles with round bottoms..

RE: soda bottle - 10/25/2005 3:58:48 PM    Miles   Posts: 248 Joined: 9/6/2005 From: New York Status: offline That doesn't look like a pontil mark, so I still think it's from around the 1870's early 1880's like lots of torpedo sodas. Still, embossed torpedo sodas, although some are common, are usually desireable. It's sort of like Warner's Safe Cure. < Message edited by Miles -- 10/25/2005 3:59:09 PM > (in reply to botil) Post #: 17

RE: soda bottle - 10/25/2005 5:19:23 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5160 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: offline quote: PURTS/CELEBRATED/DOUBLE/SODA WATER/13 ST MARY AT HILL/CITY/LONDON Take a look at this site. http://www.geocities.com/torpedobottlecom/page8.html It looks like several of the topedos from the 1830s with that crude lip. Try to contact whomever runs that website and they could probably give you some good info. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to botil) Post #: 18

RE: soda bottle - 10/25/2005 8:58:34 PM    Miles   Posts: 248 Joined: 9/6/2005 From: New York Status: offline Yeah, the soda is probably from the 1830's now, judging by the site. If you look on the site, the lip is the same as the shweppes torpedo soda. < Message edited by Miles -- 10/25/2005 9:08:41 PM > (in reply to botil) Post #: 20
