WTB Unusual beer and soda closures

[Skoda]

Hi all, I have been trying to build up a collection of antique North & Central American beer and soda bottles with varying closures. Closure methods fascinate me and if I find the time, I'd love to put together a video series on them at some point. In the event that I don't I'm always interested in purchasing examples I do not have yet regardless!

Here's a list of closure examples I DO currently own and am not interested in purchasing upgrades of:

• Putnam
• Lightning
• Hutchinson
• Baltimore Loop Seal
• Gravitating
• Crown Cork
• Hutter
• Roorbach 1883
• Roorbach 1885
• Allender (early variant, thick cast metal)
• Rich
• Thatcher 1885
• Thatcher 1901
• Niagara
• Susemihl
• De Quillfeldt 1886
• Morgenstern (2nd variant)
• Magic
• Improved Magic
• Combination Bottle Closure
• Kork-N-Seal
• Thasmo

Here's a couple I do have examples of but would love an upgrade:

• Codd (I have a UK example, would love a US one)
• Kent (my example is severely damaged and missing the closure)
• Fritzner (I have a pre-war Belgian beer with this closure, but would love a US example)

Anything else I would most likely be interested in! I've been especially looking to find an example of a Kutscher, ABC, Schlich, Lowell, Albertson, and the later Allender fastener with the thinner metal and flanged edges.

I would love to see a video discussing the various closures. I primarily collect pop bottles 1900 on up which means that I know nothing other than crown tops and Hutchison closures. There is a really strange "prioff" top on a 1926 Chero Cola that is a strange one. And a tall/long necked straightside coke from Pittsburg that has what I call a bail closure but that some folks refer to as a lightning top. I hope you get a chance to make that video.
