Plain small torpedo. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 5 oz. 172 mm.. 1870s
Very Good. The lip on this one is quite thin and crude, which makes us think it is earlier than usual for the small size torpedo bottles, hence our guess of 1870s. This is also quite small, seemingly smaller than usual. This is stained throughout. There is some surface rust below the lip and a bit around the base as well. Couple of deep impacted scratches or wear spots on either side of the lower neck or upper body. Mid body has a series of short arched deep scratches on one side. Some minor nibbles at the point. A few other scratches and the odd impact mark. Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $30 - 40
