Welcom to the forum, Boats_14_4!
Certainly sounds like it is english. Do you have a picture?

Hey Boats,

Welcome. The British call them "Hamiltons." Would you favor us with some photos, please. I'm not sure what you're saying about "and buckingham palace on it." I.m pretty sure that was not Josiah's address.

10 oz. Brown Cylinder" Listed as a Mineral Water HERE. Here's one like it 4 sale.

Here's another Ginger Beer for sale.

Was it boating that brought this torpedo to you? Otherwise, show and tell us more, please.

Nice, watch out it don't sink ya.[]
I'd have to guess that it was made for the palace and not made at the palace. You know, private stock. You wouldn't want the royals drinking from bottles that were once consumed by the "regular people"
Very cool!

Actually it says Buckingham Palace ROAD

Well that a horse of a different color. I guess I posted when the pics were coming. Good catch Charlie, another example of a thousand words being worth more than a picture, at least at the start.
