Built in opener - 11/2/2009 11:33:54 PM    zed   Posts: 7 Joined: 11/2/2009 Status: offline Hello, I found this ndnr bottle. the only markings are the pat. no., an F in a hexagon(Fairmount Bottle Co.?) and a strange indent on the bottom. Turns out it's a built-in opener. Has anyone seen one of these and maybe know what was in it?     Havin trouble uploading pic(first time user) I will try to post pic later.                Thanks  Post #: 1

RE: Built in opener - 11/3/2009 7:30:17 PM    epackage Posts: 7440 Joined: 5/3/2009 From: Jersey Status: offline Very cool looking bottle, how does the opener stay on the bottom of the bottle? I can't tell from the pic, and what is the size of the bottle ? The patent number on that opener suggests a date of 1961 Thanx, Jim < Message edited by epackage -- 11/3/2009 7:35:56 PM > _____________________________ Paterson NJ Bottles I Want Them!

RE: Built in opener - 11/3/2009 8:10:00 PM    epackage Posts: 7440 Joined: 5/3/2009 From: Jersey Status: offline In the first pic it looked like a metal piece attached to the bottom, I would think after awhile you would need to worry about glass breakage when removing other caps which is why this may not have caught on.... _____________________________ Paterson NJ Bottles I Want Them!

RE: Built in opener - 11/3/2009 8:52:14 PM    epackage Posts: 7440 Joined: 5/3/2009 From: Jersey Status: offline It would apppear that the original idea was on a different part of the bottle, I'll see if I can pull up the bottle you have...

RE: Built in opener - 11/3/2009 9:59:20 PM    zed   Posts: 7 Joined: 11/2/2009 Status: offline Thanks Jim, I saw a different patent when I googled the #. Apparently two guys named Lockerman applied for it in Pitt Penn. They must have considered a few different alternative means to incorporate an opener into the bottle. that way someone else couldn't use their idea.  I was looking for the brewer or brewers who used it.?Anyone (in reply to epackage) Post #: 18
