Difficult to find Sheboygan soda bottle. Kausler had a store on 8th st in Sheboygan. This bottle is rumored to have been found while city crews were excavating the street near where the store had been located.

This closure was the standard in North America during the later Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, but had very little market penetration in the rest of the world. This was an improvement to Matthews' gravitating stopper and worked on the same principle. When the stopper was raised, the pressure of the carbonated contents sealed the rubber gasket against the base of the neck. Unlike Matthews, it was cheaper and more efficient to use. Also, the bottle did not have to be filled upside down. To bottle, the stopper was put in the downward position, the contents were injected into the bottle with a nozzle. This nozzle contained a hook that grabbed the top loop of the stopper and pulled it upward thus sealing the bottle. Health laws and bottle filling automation sealed the fate of this stopper, which tended to accumulate dust and dirt above the stopper and had to be filled manually. It was replaced by the crown cork closure did not have the sanitary problems and was well suited to automatic bottling machines, which allowed for reduced costs.
The style itself was for a Gravitating Stopper. But often Hutchinson stoppers worked in these things.
