    I recently found these unique bottles and cannot get information regarding their age or function.
    They have a glass ball suspended in the neck portion of the bottle.
    Some have stars on the front and others have no markings.
    Can anyone help identify them>
    Thanks,
    Ron

      Hi, These are called cod stopper bottles. They were used for soda, and maybe pop, The force of the soda pushed the marble stopper up to the top of the bottle, and so they were sealed. Many children used to break the bottles to get the green marble stopper.
      Yours are quite fine with the star marking.

      Here's a very nice example:

      Some countries still use them today. I'm afraid that I cannot help date yours, but they were popular in early 1900s England.
