I am new to bottles I dont know anything about them. I found a bottle while diving off West Palm Beach Fl. It is a torpedo bottle that is greenish in color and has a "K" stamped on the bottom. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe.

I think this is the bottle you are talking about. Applied top torpedo. I just recently got one at a flea market? Any value or info? Hope this is the same bottle.

Thats the the Bottle! The funny thing is I was looking for lobsters when I found the bottle. It was just laying in the sand in 93ft. of water it had some growth on it so I soaked it in vinegar and it cleaned up pretty well. Any info on this bottle would be apprecited.

i know that torpedo bottles were used for shipping stuff in they are shaped that way so that they will not stand up causing them to lay on their side which caused the cork to stay wet which is imortant because if the cork dries out it will shrink and the bottle will leak....
