schweppe

[king dick]

Hello I am new to the forum and would like to ask if anyone could date a recent find.
it is a half pint blob top, schweppe bottle dark green opaque, stands six inches tall including the neck, three inches across, the name schweppe runs down the bottle from neck to base, on the base is j k & s the letter m or w dependant on which way round and the number 1992. does the number represent the year?
Any help would be much apreciated.

I would figure the 1890's but impossible to tell without a pic Dick....

Thank you very much would you know if this type of bottle pre dated the rugby ball shape, it certainly has a feel of being old.

could be a bit before or after the torpedo bottle, a pic would help....Jim

J K&S is John Kilner & Sons. W is for the factory at Wakefield, England. 1992 is a mold number.

Thank you I have looked at another site with history of kilner which seems to indicate that J K & S would have been used between 1847 and 1857. I have got as far with a picture as getting it to the computer but am having difficulty getting the picture to this correspondance. would it be reasonable to asume that Mr shweppe would not have ordered to many years supply of bottles and therfore the date would be somewhere arround the middle of the 19th C.
