That is a nice early Schweppes, on the higher end for value. I assume yours has a pontil mark, as Schweppes bottled on Margaret Street from around 1809-1830. Yours is much harder to find than the common Berners Oxford St. Torpedo. To accurately determine the value, we would need to see pics as I think they came in different colors which affects the value. Condition is also a factor. I have seen the darker green ones sell around $1800-$2200.
HERE is an early discussion about the bottle.
Interesting history of Schweppes LINK.

Very nice, you may want to tumble it to get the hazing and wear off if you are aiming to re-sell the bottle. This may not be the best thing to though, as the embossing is a bit faint. Hopefully someone can chime in and inform us whether it would be a good idea or not. A $1000+ bottle I would still say.

tumbling wouldn't hurt it at all, just get someone who knows what they are doing to do it. You don't want to mess up a thousand dollar bottle!!
