Wise Up ... No info but this is something my dad used to say to me (a lot). Hmmm ... I wonder what he meant?

This is the last one. And it's not even a soda bottle cap. But a beer. I post it here because it was the most valuable cap I came across. I'm not sure what's so special about it, but there must be something. I'm sure it must be very old, and possibly even one of the 1900s caps I have been looking for and which started this whole thing in the first place.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a great Halloween!

Gee ... I almost forgot the most important one. And although not my favorite, it's possibly one of the earliest ones around.

Moxie ... With it's founder Augustin Thompson. Moxie started as a nerve tonic in 1876. I'm still researching this cap, and hope it turns out to be from the late 1890s, or very early 1900s.

Heart-O-Orange ... Sold e-bay 3-10 @ $50.00 ... Another of my favorites.

I have the bottle that fits on .. hmmm.....

Interesting the prices caps are bringing, I've been thinking of starting a cap collection myself, - take up less room, easy to display on the wall, etc - my ex g/f thought the bottles were better then the caps when we talked on it " might as well have the bottle, more interesting ".. I'm not sure.

Used to find caps all over around here, now that I want em all dried up ( or most likely rusted away in NY acid rain soil ) .
