Antique Codd Marble Bottle - Robinson Brothers, England
Antique Codd Marble Bottle - Robinson Brothers, England
This antique soda bottle uses a glass marble sealed in the neck to hold in carbonation, a clever trick invented in 1872 by Hiram Codd. It was manufactured by Robinson Brothers in Ulverston, England. 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.
