What a nice page. Everybody's working very hard to try to identify this bottle.
Thanks for advice.

 

[botil]

The discussion its turning very interesting. Thanks everybody for help.

The positive side is that we all improve our knowledge, and our bottle database. Thanks

Let us know if you ever find out anything about it. I'm betting it is pretty rare since it didnt seem to be listed anywhere.

Great looking Hamilton. Doing investigation on it provides the following from a well known Hamilton specialist.

I've not heard of your specific manufacturer before but have seen similar bottles in colour and shape..and "product naming/addresses" before. This style of bottle with the rolled lip will date into the late 1830's to the mid 1840's. It is from the immediate post-pontil era.


Some of the similar bottles are JOHNSONS, SCHWEPPES and FORDS. Some of the similar addresses are SILVER STREET NEAR OXFORD and SOHO IN LONDON. Some of the product names were HIGHLY CARBONATED SODA WATER, DOUBLE CARBONATED SODA WATER & CELEBRATED DOUBLE SODA.


Seems back then, as now, there are trends...and their trend was to publicise the carbonation and give cross references/coordinates to their businesses' addresses.


These are interesting older torpedo bottles that fall in the $150 and up to $300 value range.

If ever yuo are interested in selling it please let me know.

Sure, I'll let you know all the information I find out about this rare soda.

 

[botil]

You have given me a very good trace.
As I can see, you agree with Gunther.
We are nearer than ever before to achieve the identification.
Excuse me, but I'm not interested in selling it.
Thanks so much for your great help

Hi Botil.
Your Hindle bottle is from the U K and would date from the 1890 -1900 period.

The early Hamilton is a great looking bottle and as from the information given by Clive Freedman his reply is pretty well on the mark. Is your bottle aqua in color or has it a green tinge to it
