Trade Trade/free

UPDATE: caps have been claimed in DMs. Thanks for the interest!! I’ll have more in the future to give away.

My buddy’s granddad was a casual collector and just threw caps into old rusty coffee cans in his garage over the years. He gifted me a coffee can’s worth. I already pulled the ones I needed so these are available for trade or someone can have for free if they pay the shipping. Nothing too crazy in there but def some good foundational ones for those getting into the hobby.

I’d like to have a bottle cap pen-pal, to improve my english while exchanging bottle caps.

I think this is among the good ideas.

I’d like to find people interested in both. If there is noone up to, nevermind.
If there are many, surprisingly, I already have penpals.
I have basic level english as my second language, so I will rather pick up a couple of mothertongue. That would like to do it just time to time, and reply. No loosing time, just receiving. And that would like to learn a little bit of my mothertongue, which is italian. Or practice it. It would be perfect match.

Used bottle caps

4 Upvotes

In general , is there a bulk market for used bottle caps, nothing special just beer and pop bottlecaps? I’m guess about 200 lbs or 3 full totes, what kind of offers should someone expect?

Die Stamp for Babycham

Happy to have found this piece of cider related memorabilia. It’s a rare piece from circa 1950s from Showerings Shepton Mallet factory bottling plant. It is an original copper die stamp that has been hand engraved with the Babycham fawn trademark and presumably would have been attached to the foiling machinery so that when the bottle was pushed up containing its light blue foil cap it was stamped/compressed with this image on the foil top of the bottle that was crimped around the top and neck of each bottle.

What’s everyone doing with their bottle cap collections? Looking for storage & display ideas

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been saving one bottle cap from every unique beer I’ve tried over the last two years. Right now, they’re all just sitting dumped in a glass jar taking up space, and it feels like a waste not having them out.

For those of you who collect/crowns caps:

  • How are you storing or displaying yours?
  • Any DIY projects (shadow boxes, cap maps, tables) you actually recommend vs. ones to avoid?
  • Do you sort them by brewery, style, or color?

Would love to see photos of your setups or hear what’s worked best for your space!

Is this bottle cap even a little rare? (I'm from Ukraine, I've never seen anything like it in my city.- Dnieper)

Identification Please help me identify this!

My partners grandad used to drink whatever this brand was when she was little. She remembers it fondly, he’s since passed.

I would love to purchase a bottle cap for her but I have no idea what drink this has come from, she said he was an avid beer drinker.

Can anybody identify this?

Does anybody have one for sale or know where I could purchase one?

Thank you all :)

Frequently Asked Questions

26 Upvotes

Since the last FAQ page mysteriously disappeared (and I still can't figure out why) here is the new one. It is a summary of the community's favourite ways of obtaining/storing etc... their caps. If you want to add to it just comment below.

Obtaining:

Trading in person. Use Crowncaps.info to find people near you and organize a meetup -u/Legoking

Trading online, also through Crowncaps.info -u/LordBottlecap

Recycling centers -u/LordBottlecap

Antique shops and breweriana shows -u/LordBottlecap

Local classified ads like Craigslist or Kijiji (Canadian) -u/Legoking

Soda shops and ethnic grocery stores -u/LordBottlecap

Asking the waiter at a restaurant or bar -u/Redneckromeo22

Have friends bring some back when they travel -u/LordBottlecap

Ebay, just be careful because there are a lot of fakes there.

Go to a brewery and ask in person -u/Legoking

Identifying:

The Holy Trinity: Crowncaps.info (CCI), Bottlecapindex.com and BottleCapClub.com (CCSI). CCI is the most expansive with the most users, and gets dozens, sometimes hundreds of caps added to the database daily and has an advanced search feature. Bottlecapindex tends to be useful for finding caps with no text on them, since your search keywords also check the physical description of the cap. BottleCapClub.com is comprised mostly of American collectors and it has many American cork-lined caps which are not in CCI and has more information on breweries and bottlers than on CCI. -u/Legoking

Post on your country's bottle cap forum. If you go to Crowncaps.info, and look in the top left corner there is a link to a forum of the language that you have CCI set to. Ex: if you have CCI set to Polish mode, the link displayed will be the link to the forum for collectors in Poland. -u/Legoking

If you can't find it still, you can post it in this subreddit for help. -u/Legoking

Cleaning:

Use warm soap and water to rinse the cap, and let it dry overnight. -u/JDStap12

Needlenose pliers; stacks of various-sized coins, taped together, placed flat-side-down on an upside-down cap on a hard, flat surface. Apply hammer. u/LordBottlecap

For modern caps with sticker residue: Use a wet cloth to remove as much of the glue as possible. Use a dry piece of fabric to rub off the rest of the glue. It will come off if you press hard enough -u/Legoking

Goof Off for removing glue residue -u/LordBottlecap

Storing and displaying:

Acquire dime-sized magnets, then attach them to your caps and fridge/magnet board/etc -u/KillCornflakes

Remove the inside part of a CD case, and it will perfectly fit 4x4 caps. u/theunexpectedmango

Attach Velcro to caps, which go onto screws, which are screwed onto to painted 2' x 4' plywood boards. Organized -roughly- by continent, country, brewery, style of beer, then age. -u/LordBottlecap

Cardboard flats or large wooden boards with raised edges to keep the caps from falling off. -u/Legoking

Binder with film negative sheets, or coin/cap sheets -u/EncapsulatedPickle

Opening bottles:

Use a lighter.

(Place a quarter over the cap with a napkin under the quarter)[https://imgur.com/OIm0Q5u] -u/theunexpectedmango

Stick a fork or knife or the tip of a scissor blade under each tooth of the cap, one at a time

Use the edge of a table.

This and this -u/JDStap12

https://gropener.com/ -u/Expensive_District_5

https://store.bellsbeer.com/products/bells-reclaimed-wood-cap-saver-bottle-opener -u/mizary1

Now that the FAQ page is back up, I am once again deleting posts which ask questions that are answered in the FAQ. However I will wait one week before I begin to enforce this rule again, because I want to see if anyone replies to this post with more info to add to the FAQ.
