Another find in my garden............
remember the screw pop bottle tops? this one has 'A' on the top with B34 underneath it..........
Don't know if this is from one but I remember the Alpine Pop lorries that used to make deliveries...the drivers were nutters!
That top would have had a washer with it, don't recall pop bottles with internal thread, thats not to say there wasn't any,I would lean more towards old beer or cider bottles maybe.
i seem to remember pop bottles with screw tops like this,i remember when all the pop had gone i would suck the top to get any drops that were left on it!!!
I dug one up on the allotment last week -
'Greenall Whitley & Co.' around the edge 'Warrington' across
the centre , confirming bert's memory for beer bottles !
I'm sure they were on pop bottles as well...maybe ginger beer or something like that...I can remember those tops...they were always matt finish like those "designer" biscuits you can buy now.
Definitely a pop-bottle top. I remember them well.
It seems that they are remembered as being used in many types of drinks, what i can't remember, did the bottles have internal threads or was this type of cap more like a cork that was just pushed in, was the cap made from a material that had a bit of give in it and expanded a little to form a seal.
The 'other' sort of bottle top was the wire type which pushed the stopper into a rubber seal eg as the photo below (photo is of a mdoern version - found on a bottle of Australian curry sauce!!)
Snod
snodvan i remember those tops too!!
Lucozade had screw tops as I recall. Also Bulmer's Woodpecker
When I was on holiday in the early 1940's in a village near Crewe one of my treats was to go to the village Post Office & shop & buy ginger beer in a stone bottle which had a screw top. The Lancashire Botanical Brewery used stone jars with screw tops too.
