    At an Estate Sale for about $7, I got a number of vintage bottles. Two were unopened bottles of an early diet soda-pop: Like, put out by 7-Up (I bought 3 in total.)
    Usually, Estate Sales don't have bottles that I like, or that are priced well.
    This time, I got the nice ACL (Applied Coloured Label, which is baked on and looks kind of like paint) Like bottles from 1963 and 1964 along with the 1950s Ginger Ale, 2 paper labels from Michigan including one that is rarely seen as a non-ACL, and a vintage Pepsi Carrier.

    The two bottom caps, Spur and a coupon cap for 5 Cents Off, were on the bottles. To remove them, as they were fragile, I gently worked my way under the "crown," or part that is crimped, to unseal it and then pull it off. A regular bottle opener, even with padding on the caps, was damaging them-- and both of these are harder to find than the two above them, which are common.

    The other caps are from my town as well, including the 1910s Muskegon Brewing Company piece and post-1963 Lacks cap.

    Cork-lined are always older caps.
