Two bottles and an oil lamp...tokens of years gone by. The shorter bottle is a replica of a very old Coca Cola bottle.
The taller one is a "Codd" bottle and is truly very old. Codd bottles were invented in 1872 by Hiram Codd.
These bottles were filled upside down and sealed by a marble inside; children often broke the bottles to get the marble out.
For the story and a closer view of a Codd bottle, click here and scroll about half way down the page.
