I'm putting these photos on the forum in the hope there are some bottle collectors out there who can help out.
Like many collectors I strayed briefly from shells many years ago and briefly got into bottle collecting (mmmmmm..........sorry!!!!!!!!) anyway, I got rid of most of the bottle collection except a few codd bottles.
This ones one of the elusive dark blue codds.
Its old (its not one of the new repro ones), has been tumbled to clean it and had a bad neck crack but other than that its all there.
The problem is where's it from, when was it made etc.
The writing on the front says:
"John Johnson
Roebourne"
The writing on the back says:
"Codd's Patent
Expired
Barnett & Foster
London"
Has anyone any info on it please?
Dave.
