Bottle Seal Co Bottles

ORIGINAL: tootenheimer

The mouth/neck of the odd bottle with groove etched in it.

Hello Geoffrey,

Welcome to the Blue Pages and thanks for showing us your nice finds.

The Patd 85 applies to the Baltimore Loop Seal that the founder of Bottle Seal Co., William Painter, invented in 1885.

Hutch Book.

This was his big closure invention prior to the Crown Cap in 1892.

As far as the outside groove on the finish, perhaps the lipping tool had a spur or was somehow fouled when this bottle was made.

Bill Lindsey.

This is a great coverage and the whole thing has gotten me interested. Problem I found was that I couldn't copy and save the page coverage. Thanks for posting it. I will work on this some more. In my years of study this whole thread has been interesting. Thanks to all. RED Matthews
