My only grav thus far; it's a rare one, only two know at this time. Will continue searching diligently for more examples!
I put my example of the GRAVITATING STOPPER in the thread mentioned.They had more crazy closures than Carter has pills. Some totally useless as far as drinking from the bottle is concerned, as well as being unsanitary. UncleBruce posted a thread asking for members to post pictures of odd bottle closures. I can't remember the title, but it was a good thread.

Nice one, I bet the Canadian Collectors would like that one. Congrats. LEON.
Amazing trio. Diving for bottles must be great. Thanks for the pictures Dan.Yes indeed, I've had considerable interest in this one. There were 3 local bottlers in that town, each producing a grav soda bottle, so I'm keen to look for the other two. One of my diving buddies had all three at one time, but let them go over time and now has a few pangs of regret over the decision:

Population probably was a factor. 1870 Census Bureau states U.S population at 38,558,371 while Canada's population was 3,485,761.all 3 are nice. it always seemed to me that older bottles from 1870's or older from Canada are even harder to find then they are here in USA. Wonder why? Thanks for pic. LEON.
