Munsey ––––––––––––––––––––- CODD BOTTLES ––––––––––––––––––––– Page 17 (Fig. 25) Cobalt blue Codd Many collectors prefer the color of the bottles or colored-lip Codds. Others prefer the crazy patent Codds – the ones with strange necks, funny shaped marbles or even valves to release the gas pressure! Unusual embossments on Codd bottles are of interest (Figs. 26a & 26b). Many Codd-style bottles are copies or variations of the original bottle designed by Hiram Codd in 1872. Over a span of 60 years (until the 1930s), Codd and his competitors continued to improve on both the design and the beauty of the bottle. They produced bottles of different sizes and some with oddly designed necks. Identifying an original Codd bottle, or even one made by a specific competitor, became extremely difficult. Recall some bottle manufacturers attempted to label their Codd bottles by making them in unique colors, or with a specifically colored marble or bottle lip.
