| Two Round Bottom Bottles. |
Here are two Treasure Coast finds. Notice the bottoms. I wouldn't call them torpedo bottles - just Chianti wine bottles.
Both of these have nice big bubbles in the glass, indicating they were blown rather than machine made. The smaller one has a seam that runs all the way to the applied top, while the larger one has no seam at all.
I'm now thinking that the one with no seams as well as the "olive oil" bottle I recently showed without seams were made with the use of a turn-mold, which SHA says is not so much a mold as a process. That process would not leave any seams.
On the smaller one you can see marks from when the lip was applied.

| Applied Lip. |
This one has a thick seam and what appears to be an accidental gauge or maybe a slightly damaged mold. On a coin, it would be a mint error. You can often find interesting little marks on bottles, especially blown bottles.
I don't know how old they are.
