Stopped in my favorite olde bottle shoppe and there it was, all alone in a sea of blobs and crowns.. I was immediately seduced, never even having seen one in person before.. really I think a spell was cast on me.. I don't even remember paying for it.. [8D]

Yeah the marble is awesome.. has some swirly amber streaks in it.. I just figured out you can make some really trippy sound effects by causing the marble to gently tap the side of the bottle.. need to dust off the 4 track..

Hello Charlie,

Great Blsck Friday Blackpool Codd! How wonderful to have ye olde bottle shoppe to visit. What is all the embossment? Is that an eagle with a radiation symbol in his beak?

Don't mind me I'm fulla leftovers.

I didn't see the rad hazard sign until the check-out girl mentioned it.. she managed to raise the curiosity of everyone in the vicinity of the register, leaving me in the awkward position of having to explain the nature of the design of this bottle.. although satisfied with my description of the Codd patent and it's intended performance, I think most of them are presently lying in bed wondering what the devil a radiation hazard symbol was doing in the beak of a bird on a codd bottle..
..it is embossed: MINERAL WATERS .. E.L.NEWSOME'S Ltd ..trade mark.. BLACKPOOL

..repro? it just seems so new...

It is not a repro or fake but it is fairly new. It was made in India where it is legal to use them. There is a guy in Pensacola, Florida with two cases of them. He has been selling them one or two at a time.

So that is a radiation symbol then?[:D] I've heard of newer codds from India, but never made the connection to this bottle....How weird is that? That they would still have codd bottles...Well I suppose the connection to the English and all that... Joe
