Can anyone help me with some more information or possible valuation of the following bottle - THE ECLIPSE PATENT BULB NECK BARNETT & FOSTER CODD BOTTLE.

I know its 1800s and I’ve been told that it’s somewhat rare so far.

I can't find much on this specific one, but Codd Bottles were introduced in 1872, and became pretty popular through the last quarter of the 19th century. I'd guess yours is probably 1880s or 1890s.

I can't seem to find an exact match for your bottle, and it's hard with the quality of pictures. Most of these seems to come in clear or aqua variants - is yours just heavily darkened, or is it a dark-colored glass? That could make it more rare, but I honestly don't have any clue on the market for these style bottles.
