Fake? I don't think so.
There were quite a few companies here in the UK that used codd bottles into the late 1940s and the 1950s. The latest date they are believed to have been used is 1964. So I think this one, and very similar bottles embossed with the names of other UK companies, were among the latest codds made and used here in Britain, probably during the 1950s. Which is why they are machine made, and why they are very similar in style to recent codds from India.
