Notes

1 - The editors of this web site don't know who is the manufacturer of these coddlers. We've grouped them together based on those that we believe were made by the same manufacturer.

2 - These unknown manufacturer codes are entirely our own creation/fabrication. We use these codes to avoid confusing coddlers that might be from different manufacturers. Of course, we don't know. We will assign numbers sequentially, and once assigned, a number will not be reused, even if we eventually discover the actual manufacturer.
