Hello all,
Just to let those of you know, who asked me to find them a "Catley Abbey"
bottle, that I have not forgotten and am gaining them slowly but surely.
The most common type is a dumpy little bottle about 5 inches tall (125mm) which contains
around 7 fluid ounces (200 ML) and comes in many different shades of brown from dark amber
to a very pale almost straw shade and indeed I also have one which is a light green
colour.
There must have been quit a few molds used because as yet, I do not have two the same in
terms of shape, as well as colour and their heights vary also. This despite the fact that
some carry the same 5108 stamp number on their base.
There also seems to be three different versions of the embossed abbey design on the front
of the bottle.
There is also a much larger bottle commonly known as a codd but these seem to be much more
difficult to obtain and as yet I have not been successful in this quest.
Have not yet amassed the total quantity needed to provision all the requests but am over
half way there now. Will keep you posted.
Regards Timcatt
