c1886-1900
Very interesting patent. Like a Codd this bottle used a marble as a stopper to seal against a rubber ring inserted into a groove in the lip. Unlike a Codd this patent had the marble on the outside of the bottle and required a metal clip to hold it in place.
The example in this auction is unbranded (although it has the name of the glass maker – Turner & Co) and is without its clip. However with the patent application pictures below it should be possible to make one!
