Cool bottle, I'm not familiar with the stopper. Do you have a description?
Also, if you check the box "Embed picture in post" it will display directly.

You should send some pics to the guy who is building the sodas and beers database website. Very nice guy and he will give you credit for contributing pictures on his website. Here's a link to the Lindestrom variants. Needs some nice photos to go along with it.

Hey Mark,

Welcome and thanks for showing us the Lindestrom.

"Albertson Closure, circ: 1862-1865, Occurs on 12 bottles,
Invented by: Albert Albertson,
American Patent: August 26, 1862, Number: 36,266,
American Patent Reissued: October 30, 1866, Reissue Number: 2,386,
This stopper is the earliest known application of an internal stopper. It consisted of a spring that pushed a disk against the inside neck of the bottle. Being cumbersome to fill and dispense, this stopper never achieved any level of success and was not used by any bottler for an extended period of time. The Gravitating closure was the successor product and was adopted by some of the Albertson users. From TOD.

I thought there was a writeup on the "Mr. Bottles" Wisconsin bottle website about that bottle, or at least one very similar. A pretty darn good one if memory serves, and a truly awesome closure. Great bottle.
