My most recent addition to my collection from the last glassworks sale This Yellow topaz Keach - Balt. torpedo soda circa 1846-48. I have been wanting one of these for awhile to go with my green ones. But everytime one came up forsale I missed it and it was snagged by another Baltimore soda collector.

Nice Keatch! I had a green one many, many years ago. It was dug in Washington, D.C., along with 3 McKeon torpedo sodas, which are extremely rare. Two were just fine, but 1 had a lip chip. I had all three, so I know that the torpedoes of this vintage are very collectible!
