Antique James Duncan JD Glass Codd Neck Bottle Featuring a Marble Stopper

Antique James Duncan JD Glass Codd Neck Bottle Featuring a Marble Stopper Designed to hold carbonated drinks under pressure. Design: Made of thick pale green or aqua glass, it includes a glass marble inside the neck that seals the bottle when pushed up by the gas pressure of the drink. Mechanism: To open it, the marble is pushed down into a specially shaped chamber in the neck to allow the drink to pour out without blocking the flow. History: Invented by Hiram Codd in 1872, these bottles were commonly used for mineral water and sodas until the 1920s. Collectibility: These are highly sought after by collectors, with value often determined by the maker's name embossed on the glass and the presence of the original marble, postage available or collection on all my items, Collection is always welcome and recommended in Rochfortbridge Westmeath, as these are old they may have ware from age or use, please view photos for condition and description, zoom in and out, by zooming in you'll see imperfections, standard postage and packing is €7.50 but i do combine postage the best i can, payment by revolut or PayPal as a friend only, please view my other items, lots more antiques, click the link below to see my other items for sale, https://www.facebook.com/groups/845188094720908/ 🤍🧡Rochfortbridge Westmeath
