Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Many of you will remember...and few won't...cork lined metal soda pop caps that were "saw-toothed" all around. Does anyone still make those and is / was there a special tool to put the caps on the bottles? I just got a vintage 1(reproduction) 1900 era six pack of Coca Cola bottles from before they were "wasp waisted" and I'd like to put caps on them. Even plain bare metal caps will do.

Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I remember 'em. We used to pry the cork part out and use it to stick 'em to our t-shirts. Put the cap on the shirt, then cram the cork part back into the cap from the inside. It would stay there for a long time if you were careful...

Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Check beer home brewing websites. They might still have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Yep. We used to bottle our own root beer - bought Dad's Root Beer extract, reused old quart bottles, and topped them off with bottle caps applied with Grandpa's bottle capper - looked sort of like a reloader. And then there was the year that the bottles in the basement, laying on their sides, popped their caps with a distinctive "Ka-pop" sound; Mom was not amused.
