CHOICE of 3 Victorian-Era Codd Bottles
CHOICE of 3 Victorian-Era Codd Bottles
These antique soda bottles use a glass marble sealed in the neck to hold in carbonation, a clever trick invented in 1872 by Hiram Codd. Pressure from the carbonated liquid forces the marble upward to seal the bottle, while a pinched neck stops the marble from blocking the flow when drinking. Complete examples are increasingly collectible since children historically broke them open to retrieve the marbles.
