Torpedo Bottle Stands
Left: silver plated torpedo bottle holder (sold on ebay for $75); middle: Carrington Sterling Silver torpedo bottle stand (on eBay, but not for sale); on right: 1880/90s Silver Plated Hamilton Torpedo Bottle Stand (via: Worthpoint)
And, since all forms of packaging (even archaic forms) beget package-related accessories, there had to be such a thing as a “torpedo bottle stand.” (Even if torpedo bottles were designed not to stand up.)
(More torpedo bottle stands, after the fold…)
Top row: gold metal double Hamilton/torpedo bottle stand (via: Worthpoint); 2nd row left: Topedo Bottle stand sold for $208.50 on ebay; on right: Victorian silver plate double Hamilton bottle stand (sold for $242.75 via Antiques Navigator); bottom, left: 2-bottle torpedo bottle stand (from Terry’s Torpedo Bottle Web Site); bottom, right: silver Gorham torpedo bottle stand on eBay

Hi, early this morning i found a bottle with the same carateristics and number patent 11034. Im in guatemala. Im lucky??
Hi Ana, If by “Lucky” you mean “is the bottle worth money?” I don’t know. If your bottle still has the cap, then I would think it might be, because that appears to be rare. I couldn’t find any photos online of surviving bottles that still had caps, although I did see some related nail polish remover bottles here….

Ok thank you for the information. My bottle has the same shape of the first photo of this page.
I just got one at a local auction in excellent cond! Mine has dura gloss dryer with lid perfectly intact. The contents appear to be 3/4 full and the liquid moves freely and looks great! Wow. Want to buy, email timelessip@aol.com
