What kind of Lip is this on Orange Crush 1920? - 10/6/2007 10:30:40 PM    lilcrabby1   Posts: 18 Joined: 2/10/2007 Status: offline Hi, I'm asking for help again. I dug up this Orange Crush Pat'd July 20, 1920 but it has a different type of lip than I've seen on all the other Orange Crush bottles. Can anyone tell me what kind of lip this is? It looks like a tooled, rounded, roll-over collar but the one in the book doesn't have that band below it. I kow it says 1920 on it but all the other one's I've seen with the same date are called crown tops, I think. Thanks for the help, Denise Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I believe it had a resealable tin cap with a wire twist on one end...Lifting the wire opened the cap...Any unfinished soda could be recapped till later, by replacing the cap and pushing the wire down...That style was in use in the 20's _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

I went to the Historic Bottle site and that is going to be a lot of help in the future.  Now the $64,000 question is "Did I finally find something that might be worth a couple of bucks? I'm not expecting big bucks. I've been looking at the bottles you guys take pride in and I don't have any of them but is this an unusual one to some extent?" When you're new to this it's hard to find a value for something like this without someone like you guys and gals. Thanks again Denise (in reply to bubbas dad) Post #: 8
