I actually won something off eBay for once (I constantly get outbid on everything, I'm sure it's not an uncommon plight) and it happened to be this really neat 1883 Roorbach closure piece! Most bottlers who utilized this patent had 2 lugs in their bottle molds to catch the marble, but on this one there are 6 all the way around. Makes for a really odd shape; from what I can tell Pfeiffer Jr. was the only one to make 6-lugged bottles. The listing didn't mention it but the rubber ring in the lip AND the marble are still intact, which is awesome! Got a pic of it next to an 1885 Roorbach patent I own, I guess the lugs weren't worth it.
