Hi all, I have been trying to build up a collection of antique North & Central American beer and soda bottles with varying closures. Closure methods fascinate me and if I find the time, I'd love to put together a video series on them at some point. In the event that I don't I'm always interested in purchasing examples I do not have yet regardless!

Here's a list of closure examples I DO currently own and am not interested in purchasing upgrades of:
  • Putnam
  • Lightning
  • Hutchinson
  • Baltimore Loop Seal
  • Gravitating
  • Crown Cork
  • Hutter
  • Roorbach 1883
  • Roorbach 1885
  • Allender (early variant, thick cast metal)
  • Rich
  • Thatcher 1885
  • Thatcher 1901
  • Niagara
  • Susemihl
  • De Quillfeldt 1886
  • Morgenstern (2nd variant)
  • Magic
  • Improved Magic
  • Combination Bottle Closure
  • Kork-N-Seal
  • Thasmo
Here's a couple I do have examples of but would love an upgrade:
  • Codd (I have a UK example, would love a US one)
  • Kent (my example is severely damaged and missing the closure)
  • Fritzner (I have a pre-war Belgian beer with this closure, but would love a US example)
Anything else I would most likely be interested in! I've been especially looking to find an example of a Kutscher, ABC, Schlich, Lowell, Albertson, and the later Allender fastener with the thinner metal and flanged edges.
