    Description

    Up for your consideration is an antique 100+ year-old Codd Neck (Marble in the Neck) heavy glass bottle found years ago on Wilson Hill in rural Texas.
    SOME HISTORY:
    *  According to Cecil Munsey in his article about Codd Soda Bottles:
    “In 1873 Hiram Codd patented his invention of a globe-stopped bottle.
    *  Codd realized that inserting and capturing a marble in the neck of a bottle would provide a new and effective way of sealing mineral water and soda bottles without corks or external stoppers.
    *  His bottle used the effervescent pressure of the mineral water itself to force a marble against a rubber washer in the upper ring of the neck of the bottle. This made for a very efficient and durable seal.”
    *  By 1920 Globe-Stopped Bottles went out of fashion in favor of the new screw and crown tops.
