      Do you know what was marketed in it? Where made? Age?
    2. vetraio50 vetraio50, 11 years ago
      In Australia this was design was used for ginger beer. This type of bottle was the first object that I collected when I was 10 or so the urban myth goes .....

      I'm an urban myth also, vetra, but doubt in the class you are in.

      Or at least warmer than all this A/C in the States! And I thought I was going to miserable in a heat-wave! Jacket next time even if in August! By the way, I hate ginger beer.

      hi blunderbuss
      these contained mainly lemonade / fizzy drink
      this bottle was made in Barnsley england and is rare because it uses a valve to release the gas pressure ... the marble inside the bottle would then fall to the slotted portion of the bottle allowing you to pour / drink the contents
      more common codd /marble bottles did not have the valve and would rely on a codds opener which was like a round top that had a peg in the center , This fitted over the top of the bottle and when pushed down the peg would push on the marble releasing the gas (with a pop .. thus fizzy or pop drinks )
      this bottle is from the late 1800 -early 1900
      these were a vast improvement on the torpedo bottle and the amazing hybrids (my favorite and just as hard to get )

      hi vetraio50
      are you still collecting them?? I have a small collection really hard to get codds torps and hybrids

      Amazing that they could get a marble to seal against the gas well. If it had no alcohol, no wonder they went defunct! These are the bottles that kids broke to get the marbles from? Weren't there others with marbles?
    9. chubbies, 11 years ago
      hi blunderbuss2,
      they were filled upside down and the pressure would push the marble against a rubber gaskit in the neck of the bottle ..but when you opened it you would have to drink it or it would go flat as you couldnt reseal them
      these bottles were superceded by the modern bottle ...they didnt really go defunct as they are still being used in India today
      and yes these are the bottles the little ^%())) would break to get the marbles ..they called them ally s i believe
      yes there are others .. hybrids also had marbles in them ... these were a bottle that they used during the time of transition from torpedos (used cork closure and had a pointed bottom so they had to lay on their side... that kept the cork wet and stopped it from drying out and letting the gas escape ).. to codd (or marble bottles)
      the hybrid had a marble top and a pointed bottom.. these are my favorites
      I will post a pic of one of mine shortly

      I know Coke was packed upside-down in the early bottles. I assume those were the Hutchinson's & wonder if they filled them up-side down? I'm sure I will get a quick reply on that!
