A couple of years ago I picked up a modern codd bottle at a flea market
(full machine blown with a dark blue marble stopper and a light orange
rubber ring).  It is embossed J. ROBERTS arched over An image of a castle
and the words TRADE MARK over CASTLEFORD on the front and CODDS PATENT
BOTTLE EXTRA STRONG GLASS on the back.  On the bottom it is embossed MADE IN
INDIA.

Someone had mentioned some months ago (I think on here) that such bottles
were still being used (made).

And...apparently this company makes the bottles out of plastic, at least
some appear to be. ??  http://www.ramune.com.tw/supplier.html 

Don't really get the appeal of such a closure.  I don't care if my soda
sounds like champagne when it opens (well, I don't drink soda, anyway).
Apparently folks in Taiwan think it's cool tho.
