Four Vintage Bottles With a Round or Torpedo Base

There are three torpedo bottles and one bottle with a round base.

 These are the markings/trademarks on the bottles:

·         1 x bottle with rounded base – this bottle has no markings or embossings. It is fairly clear and there are no chips but there are scratches on the glass. The base is rounded rather than torpedo-shaped. 

·         1 x Webb’s Double Soda Bottle (embossing is visible). Other embossing reads:  & other waters/ to her Majesty/ Islington/ London. According to Google, this bottle is from the 1860s-1870s. The bottle is not chipped but it is pitted and some of the embossings are fading. There is a small blob of clay on the front that I think can be removed. The aqua-green colour of the bottle is visible but it has gone a bit milky.

·         1 x Horwitz & Co registered bottle. Other embossings on the bottle read: Johannesburg. There is a logo that looks like a jumping lion. The word Trade Mark is split by this logo. At the back towards the base, there is an embossing that seems to read: W M Barnard & Sons, London. The lip of the bottle is not chipped but the bottle does show pit marks. All the embossings, especially the ones on the front, are quite clear. The bottle mostly has a clear aqua-green colour.

·         1 x smaller torpedo bottle of which the colour is quite milky and not transparent anymore. The embossing read Kimberley Newton Steamaerated Water Works. Three letters are embossed over the torpedo point of the bottle: NSW
