WOW! what a great bottle. how much you want for it?
looks like it 1870s maybe earlier i'm not sure, dont know alot about it, but the name and other embossing tells alot about it.

That looks like stretch marks on the neck. Usually torpedo soda bottles were made in the 1870's in England. Some more common ones are Shweppes torpedos that go for 8-10 dollars.
Yours has great charm so if you want to sell it you could get over that.

Judging from the style of embossing I'd guess that is a pretty early bottle. You need to find someone that has some experience with early english bottles. Give it a little time , someone will pop up with an answer.
You have some very nice bottles, did you dig them?

Hey botil, that is one great bottle [] , one thing I can tell you is it's a whole lot older than 1870's more like 1830's or thereabouts.

VERY nice bottle and I hope someone will be able to give you a bit of company info etc.

I'm afraid I don't have the intention of sell this bottle, but thanks for the offer anyway.
I'd like know more about this bottle.

 

[botil]

Lets hope so. I'm quite excited. Perhaps you are right and I'll be lucky and someone will give me the information I'm looking for.

I've been buying bottles for years in local weekend street markets, where people sell things that they think whith no value or too olds and without interest for them.
Thanks for information.

Hi. I have a couple similar bottles- without the writing. My grandfather told me they were used in ships when the cargo was loaded off, they used rocks to load down the ship and in between the rocks, they would place these bottles with round bottoms..
