This is a fabulous early Codd Neck bottle by Niagara with the marble I. The neck. The bottle was made for the Barnett &amp; Foster Makers, London, England.<br>In 1862 Hiram Codd introduced a design featuring a glass marble to keep it airtight. The Codd-neck bottle enclosed a marble and a rubber washer in the neck. The pressure of the gas in the bottle forced a the marble against the washer sealing in the carbonation.<br>The use of these bottles went out of general use in the 1930’s.<br>The bottle still contains the marble and the imprint of the maker is legible. I do not know the age of this Codd neck bottle, but it is an antique.<br><br>9 x 2 1/2 inch’s at base
