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…)

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….
