What is the value of an unopened schweppes torpedo bottle that still has original wire and cork?

Answer 1

My private passion is bottle-digging to the roots of Coke. I owe an cellar found from Kent, an unopened Schweppes eggbottle dated 1890 with original wire and cork. I believe, this is a very rare item, cause the wire is mostly destroyed in the findings of worldwide shipwrecks or dumps.

So, the value will be awesome. Millions of Schweppes egg bottles/hamiltons were produced and shipped from 1850 to 1910, an authentic example of unopened, wired cork will be extremely rare/unique.

Beware it carefully :-)
