I post one of these before and was told it was a reproduction: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/11709-codd-bottles?in=user
I used to live in a city here, not that far from downtown was a graveyard and across the street there was a nut club factory. Behind it was a ravine and a culvert leading to the ravine I found glass shards, I had found part of the old graveyard from circa 1908 and I dug up many old spritzer bottles and wonderful old ones which I collected at the time. That was about 1976. The ones with the old glass stopper inside were there also. Much better for the fact that I had to work for them. This beautiful bottle of yours has much the same charm.
