I found this torpedo bottle in England more than 50 years ago. It’s been kicking around on my shelves since then and I have never seen anything like it. The peculiarity is it’s octagonal cross section, I have a few other round bottom soda bottles and all have a round cross section.
A little research lead me to the name J Daily who was a soda manufacturer in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire England late 1800 to early 1900 but I have never seen any bottles similar to this.
Any input or similar bottles out there. Any idea of value?

Love it, first paneled round bottom I've ever seen...
 

Don't they call that a torpedo bottle? I'm no bottle expert by a long shot but I think I saw one somewhere.

Not a true torpedo, round bottom often called a ballast bottle because they came over in the bottoms of ships...

Torpedo...
