Dear Jason

Welcome to the forum!. What you have is a soda water bottle from the 1880 unward. Soda water was introduced by Schweppes in 1799 and became very popular through the 1800. The round bottoms unembossed are common and have little or no value. However embossed one can be scarce and be worth a bundle. Some people will call them torpedo bottles but real torpedo are shape more like a small football

Cheers
