Presence of the original closure greatly enhances the beauty/value of the older blob top beer and soda bottles. There were an amazing number and variety of closures invented during the 1870-1900 time period as local bottlers tried to come up with unique and economical means of sealing their product bottles.

The info below was provided courtesy of David Graci, Email: Stonebotle@aol.com, who scanned some pictures from his personal book of research on closures. David is always looking for photos/sketches/info about closures he has not documented yet. Who knows, maybe he'll come out with a book on the subject?
