Bottle Found in Fishing Net

Crazynewfie · Mar 11, 2014

My father found this bottle a few years ago in a fishing net off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. I'm new to this and know nothing. Can anyone shed some light on this please? I have enclosed a few pictures and I also wrote down what is on the bottom of the bottle as best as I could.

It is a Torpedo Soda bottle, most likely with British connections. John Lumb & Company, Limited. (1905-1937), Castleford, Yorkshire, England. It has a blob top finish, how far does the seam go up the neck?

Hello Spencer, Welcome to the A-BN, and thanks for showing us your bottle. It's not quite a "torpedo," but a rounded bottom, British fizzy drinks bottle. It was made in Yorkshire: "J. L. & Co. ; J. L. & Co. LTD. …………………John Lumb & Co. (1870s-1905), name changed slightly to: John Lumb & Company, Limited. (1905-1937), Castleford, Yorkshire, England. Became part of United Glass, Ltd, in 1937. After 1937 their mark was “U G B” positioned over an “L”." http://www.glassbottlemarks.com/bottlemarks-3/ [align=center]
