Re-Run Sunday Gold & Silver, Antiques & Collectables (14% Buyers Commission)
A pair of antique aqua glass mineral water bottles featuring the Codd-neck closure system patented by Hiram Codd in 1872. Each bottle is mould-blown with visible seams and retains its original internal glass marble stopper. The first bottle is embossed with the text S. Noble & Sons over the town name Dudley. The second bottle is embossed with Home Brewery to the upper portion and appears to read Daybrook below a central pictorial trademark depicting a standing figure, potentially a monk or friar. These bottles are characteristic of British beverage containers from the late 19th to early 20th century.
Condition report:
Both items are in as-found, likely excavated condition. The glass surfaces exhibit significant scuffing, scratches, and internal cloudiness or mineralisation consistent with age and burial. Both internal marble stoppers remain intact within the chambers. No major structural cracks or large chips are visible.
