SplattmanSS Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I picked up a "Victory" cod bottle very cheap at auction last week....I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about the maker...."Victory", clearly embossed around one side of the base.. It still has the rubber gaset inside the neck, no bail or stopper though S~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I've heard some of those can be newer repro. Did they ever have bails and stoppers? Who needs bottle caps or bails and stoppers when you can have a marble? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I was about to link to that page, even before I saw that there was a Victory bottle on it. Not because I necessarily thought yours was a "fake", but because I bought a codd bottle last year, then found it on that page and wrote the guy whose email address is given on the contact page. It took a coupla weeks, for which he apologized, but he wrote to tell me that mine isn't "fake" exactly. just newer. Mine was still in use in India, he said.

Scoop Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I think I've posted this before... The bottle shown as contemporary Japanese, is available in the US at some retailers... In New England, Newbury Comics sells Ramune Soda.... It's super sweet!! Maybe even too sweet for someone with a real sweet tooth!! There's no inscription on the bottle, because it comes with a plastic shrink label.... Ramune Soda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvdv Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I"ve got a "Victory" bottle like that to, also with a dark (almost black) marble in it. Found it in Holland, at an antique market. Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplattmanSS Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Thank you for all the replies, and especially for the links....I can see now why it went so cheap.. :doh: Although cees gave me a little hope it might be the real deal, after looking at the links......I think it is probably is a repro.... Thanx again all, S~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
