CODD’S PATENT BODY PINCH OVATE. 7.3ins long, aqua glass. Perhaps seen as a ‘hybrid’ by todays collectors this bottle carries two extraordinary retaining pinches in the lower body section to, hopefully, hold back the marble when pouring out the pop! Embossed ‘CODD’S PATENT / 4/ MAKERS / RYLANDS & CODD / BARNSLEY’. An extremely rare Codd Patent 4 variant, the same one illust’d on p92 of ‘Saving the Fizz’ by David Jones. Taking all this into account the present bottle probably dates to about 1878. We are not aware of another extant example of this unique survivor? Some body wear. though no real damage. (8/10)
