    Found a torpedo. Info anyone?

    here's some more will post what I found today after supper hopefully I'll get some feed back

    Jamie; The first thing to do is - look at the top closure glass section of the bottle. If it has vertical seams on it - it was made on an ABM, Automatic Bottle Machine. If it was it doesn't have value.Bottles that were hand blown on a blow pipe Have value - they will also have a pontil mark...
