Great looking torp, I do have a question though. Is it worth it monetarily to have it done or was it reasonable to you personally so you could have a nice looking example for your collection? I only ask because as a collector of only 'locals' I have had estimates for repairs that are much higher than the bottles worth even if original and undamaged... Enjoy it[;)]

Jim,

All of the Baltimore torpedo's that I have in my collection are damaged. With this bottle, this was my chance to buy one that looked complete. I bought this repaired Torpedo from a Baltimore Digger. I feel I paid a fair price for the bottle. Plan to pick up some more this year.

Take care,

Marc
