Purchased a Codd ("pig") bottle today...

The marble is the same color as the glass - greenish-clear. It was a funky idea, wasn't it, to put a marble as a seal in a bottle?

Yes, all wording embossed on the bottle. I believe these were made in the U.K.?

Purchased a Codd ("pig") bottle today...

Hi, all, back after long absence. I found a Codd bottle at an antique shop today for $12.08 and couldn't leave it behind at that price when I found it so curious. Intact with the marble in it and in very good condition, but a bit cloudy. Greenish-clear. Marked "O.D. Murphy, Wellington and...

Purpose of this product?

Thank you very much! The bottle I saw was, I think, smaller, and had a different photo on it - it reminded me of the picture you see on certain cough drop boxes. [:)]

Purpose of this product?

Saw a bottle in an antiques mall this afternoon that had what appeared to be the original cork and was filled with a solidified substance that looked like white paint. The label, which was in color and about 90% intact, said "Vanilla-Vanillin Coumarin" at the top, feature a picture of a bearded...

Not sure if this bottle is an antique or not

Today in an antiques store that I periodically visit, I noticed a rounded amber bottle of average height labeled "Sweet Lucy" with "Homemade Peach Brandy" underneath that name. The only other thing on the label was "The Daniels Farm," "Est. 1888" and "White Street" centered across the bottom...

Seeking age/identity of product in new bottle

Hi, Rich, The bottle is machine made and has a somewhat curious bottom -at least to me! When looking at the front, you see a wave in the very bottom section, which is slightly uneven. It appears that the "wave" is actually a separate plate of glass, as if it had been pushed up from the...

Seeking age/identity of product in new bottle

Hello, everyone! I just purchased a new (for me), clear bottle labeled only "B&L, The King of All Tonics" this afternoon at an antiques store. I paid $9.00 for it, which seemed reasonable. Can anyone tell me what the "B&L" stands for, and what the "tonic" might have been designed for...

Dcffffffffffffffffffffffffffffoes anybody know the original contents?

My very first antique bottle - I have all of two, in addition to a modern collection - was a corkless and empty Hicks Cappudine bottle I purchased for all of $10 (the going rate, I believe). I was fascinated by its claim to cure everything from headaches to grippe. Does anyone know what the...

How can I clean my oil-residue filled bottle?

Hello, I am brand new to this site! I just bought a bottle of Sperm Sewing Machine Oil yesterday at an antique mall, and I'm afraid I made a mistake by removing the (I now realize) original cork and cleaning out what remained of the original oil, which had pretty much solidified. The reason...
