Quite the unconventional lip finish.

"Repaired blob"? Did they get the lip right with the repair, or does it look awkward BECAUSE of the repair? Don't know, just asking...

Hey Saratoga,
That is what they really looked like. A huge towering blob. Hard to find them whole. This thing used a spring that kept the bottle in the closed position unless you pushed on it (unlike a hutchinson stopper which would stay down when opened unless it was pulled shut).
