I believe that this is an English, Scottish or Irish bottle. There are a number of these "plated" torpedoes manufactured in those countries.

Several are from Nova Scotia.

I am not aware of any pre-1870 American made torpedoes with plate molds.

this is a long shot, especially because I think this is an American bottle, but it reminds me some what of this bottle which is an early English Torpedo from the 1850's.
