hi there Malkey
you seem to have a nice collection of English mineral waters ... love them myself
have a few English hybrids codds and torps ... they have real character and ooze history
reckon the English put out the best ones ever

hi ross many thanks i love the history plus the crudeness of these bottles too
What a great bottle - seems fairly impractical since it can't stand upright, but such great art & design!
hi beyemvey the bottle shape meant the bottle could not stand keeping the cork moist as if it dryed out the fizz would come out of the pop bottle
the codd bottle & many other patent closures were the demise of the point based hamilton bottle which in very own words fairly impractical
thanks beyemvey
Of course I love the bottle Malkey, but what I really like is how you presented it... a great photo!
