Description:

Carl Schultz first began producing artificial mineral waters in 1862. At around this time, he met Thomas Walker who had invented the siphon bottle and they went into business together. Carl Schultz also operated a Mineral Springs Pavilion in Central Park at the north end of Sheep Meadow that opened in 1867. Torpedo bottles in the United States date from the 1870s to the 1910s, although some American-made torpedo bottles date back as early as the 1840's. Hamilton bottles were mostly bought and used by middle and upper class families. Other types of bottles eventually replaced them and plastic lids replaced the stoppers.
