Odd closures are so AWESOME!!!!!

[UncleBruce]

Mail call today and I became very excited to receive a bottle, which has its original EDWIN L. LLOYD closure still intact. It is a wonderful and welcome addition to my closure collection. Patent #325181 from 1885.

It seems to exert uneven pressure and uses excess material. I see why it didn't take off, but it does look pretty cool.

Very cool. I can see why you're so excited to add an example in such great condition.

This oddball is an AMERICAN company using a GERMAN blob & closure design. Not sure what the closure was called, I just refer to it as a DRESDEN closure.

"...uneven pressure..." perhaps because it is broken?

This is a SUSEMIHL closure Patent #217425 from 1879. Looking at the image in the patent the closure is shown on a different style blob top.
