Status: offline The history and dating of Codd bottles are covered on my Historic Bottle Website on the "Soda & Mineral Water Bottles" typology (i.e., what a bottle was used for) page at this link: http://www.sha.org/bottle/soda.htm#Codd Style The bottles were primarily used for mineral water or soda though I believe some were used for beer too. In any event, carbonated products were all that bottle/closure type could be used for since the carbonation kept the marble in place until one opened it by pushing down. No carbonation = no seal. Hope that helps! Bill < Message edited by jfcutter -- 2/6/2010 1:00:38 PM > _____________________________ Bill Lindsey - Klamath Falls, OR.
