now that's a cool idea. I've been collecting the bits of flow-blue and transferware pottery that always turn up in my dig. Someday I'll grout them together and make a frame. or something.

Hi Guys,
My holy grail would be a cobalt blue Husband Bros Townsville Codd bottle. As far as the Tvl collectors are aware a complete example has never been found. Alternatively a blue lip York hybrid would do nicely[8D]

I wouldn't mind a cobalt Husband Bros codd myself now that you mention it [:D] , the Cossak and Roebourne codds have more writing on them though (I've never seen even a piece of the Cossak one but have been told the details of it by a well known digger in WA from the 1970's and 80's).

[:)] I guess my "holy grail" of bottles would be either a Catties (Renmark) stone ginger beer, or a Burgess (Port Pirie) stone ginger beer. [:)] ....but then I collect ginger beers.

For me it would have to be a 10oz Moffet & Co Invercargill (New Zealand) Blue-lipped
Acme-Reliance Codd Hamilton Hybrid. Quite a mouthful!.Considered one of the top NZ bottles. They sell for Thousands when they come up for sale (hardly ever).
There is quite a good range of desirable NZ codds/patents I would like, & the more I think about it the bigger the list gets!.[:D]
