Roberts codd bottle with marble... sorry some came thru as not embedded... pesky "embed picture in post" button

Hello Heather,

Welcome to the Blue pages, and thanks for showing us your basement discoveries.

Does this Codd have a castle tower in the slugplate?

From.

Here's an earlier thread on J. Roberts: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m-67248/mpage-1/key-/tm.htm#67248

"The picture to the right shows an alcohol laced (18%) medicinal bottle (Ferro-China-Berner Tonic) with the full contents and sealed with a foil capsule over the cork. This bottle dates from the early 20th century. Click Ferro-China-Berner tonic bottle to view a picture of this entire bottle, which the label states is from New York, though the bottle (and possibly contents) were probably manufactured in Europe. A similar cork sealing method was to dip the corked finish in hot wax instead of a foil wrapper (Jones & Sullivan 1989). From.

Basement finds are cool.

Hi Surfaceone,
Yes the codd bottle does have a castle in the slugplate (now that I know what a slugplate is, thank you!) looked at the link and then looked at the bottle again... this one says made in India on the bottom. aha! Found this particular one stashed behind a metal rack in the basement completely separate from all the other bottles which were under the sunporch which can only be accessed from the inside. so i'm guessing it is newer than the rest. This place has been a true "treasure" trove of interesting finds. in other news, I also found an old piece of cand that had been used to wedge a blind to stay in place on one of the living room windows. haha!

I see the info on the ferro china-bisleri. not sure how to price that one? even more confounding is that I can't find any examples of any of the bottles I posted from Philadelphia or even anything on the beverage companies/breweries. Either way, I'm thinking I will sell the whole lot as soon as we fish the others out of the "dungeon" under the porch and see what's in there. Thanks for the reply!

Heather

Does the Rosenberger's Ginger Ale have a bottling company on it? As a Camden collector I haven't heard of this one before, would be interested if you want to unload it...
