Patented in England in 1870 and Australia around 1873, Hiram Codds bottles were based on an earlier idea from Edouard Lovadoux. At first not popular with aerated water manufacturers, subsequent revisions to his idea led to many companies using variants of his patents. There are about 9 different variants to this patent used in South Australia and indeed Australia.
South Australian companies Woodroofe's Norwood and Haydon's from Gawler used the largest Codd patents in Australia with whopping 32 oz bombs.
That's a lota soda!
