Most, if not all applied crowns are foreign.
Hey Bob,
It does look rather British to me as well. I would argue that "Most" or "many" applied crowns are foreign, "not all." The "X" marks the spot...
"Mouth-blown, true applied crown finish closure bottles are very uncommon and then usually of foreign manufacture (empirical observations). Mouth-blown, tooled crown finish bottles date from 1894 to about 1914-1915, when machine-made manufacture of soda and beer bottles was almost complete in the U. S. (Lockhart pers. comm. 2003). In Canada, it appears that at least mouth-blown soda bottles with tooled crown finishes were being made until at least the late 1910s (Axelson 2000). The crown finish pictured to the right is a tooled example that dates from around 1910-1915. Machine-made crown finish bottles all date after 1905 when the first license for soda and beer bottles was issued for the Owens Automatic Bottle Machine, although most Owens produced soda/beer bottles post-date about 1910 due to the relatively slow implementation of these expensive machines (Axelson 2000; Miller & McNichol 2002). The semi-automatic machine production of narrow necked bottles was not significant until after about 1910 making machine-made, non-suction scarred (non-Owens machine) crown finish bottles likely to date no earlier than the early 1910s (Barnett 1926; Axelson 2000; Lockhart pers. comm. 2004)." From.
