Looks like a nice American torpedo bottle...

This bottle came after the Torpedo,the early Torpedo's had a pointed bottom then later became more rounded,this one is called a Bowling Pin for obvious reasons ,with the thickness of the glass,its an early one.

ya, The photo was so big it was off the end of my screen I didnt see the flat bottom.
There are some very early pontilled bowling pins (sometimes called ten pins). That one pictured is a later one.

No pontil.

yea and it's a blob top so it's 1800s

Great embossing...I think you have a super find..might be rare but I'm no expert..I nevr saw a bpin with that much detail

Very nice find. Bottle is listed in Kovel's 11th edition as follows- CARL H. SCHULTZ, Pat. May 1868, New York, Ten-pin, Aqua, Blob top $60.00. As you know this is just a reference. If I owned it, I surely wouldn't sell it for that. Too hard to find early American torpedo's and ten-pins. That's definitely a keeper.
