"Christin Closure, circ: 1875-1880, Occurs on 20 bottles,
Invented by: Arthur Christin,
American Patent: April 13, 1875, Number 161,863,
This stopper was an adaptation of the Gravitating closure. The variation was that the stopper itself was composed of a composite rubber material instead of the glass rod used in the Gravitating stopper. Also unlike the Gravitating it had an imbedded rubber ring in the lip of the bottle where the stopper wedged against creating the seal." Thanks Tod.
