 This particular bottle is a stunning emerald green color, which is very rare in the bottle-collecting community. The bottle features the embossed words “GOFFE & SONS BIRMINGHAM” on one side and a codd bottle closure on the top, which was a popular method of sealing carbonated drinks in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The bottle was produced by Goffe & Sons, a renowned mineral water company based in Birmingham, England. This adds to the historical significance and value of the bottle, as it represents a piece of British beverage history. The emerald green colour of the bottle is also quite distinctive and appealing to collectors, making it a highly desirable piece to add to a collection.

In terms of rarity, the GOFFE & SONS BIRMINGHAM EMERALD GREEN CODD bottle is considered to be very scarce, with only a limited number of examples known to exist. This rarity has resulted in a higher value for the bottle, with some similar examples fetching high prices at auctions and private sales.

When considering the potential investment value of the bottle, it is important to note that the value of collectable items can fluctuate depending on market trends and demand. However, given the rarity and uniqueness of the GOFFE & SONS BIRMINGHAM EMERALD GREEN CODD bottle, it is likely to retain its value well and potentially increase in worth over time.

As an avid collector of rare antiques and collectables, I have had first-hand experience in acquiring and owning a blue GOFFE & SONS BIRMINGHAM CODD bottle.
