    Here are a few of my flat Figural Bottle Openers;
    Pic #1. Calendar Girl, [Clothed], (also comes in a Nude, called Early Morn), is 2 3/4" long. Pat.# 44,226, to Harry L. Vaughan, owner of Vaughan Novelty, Chicago, Illinois, on June 17, 1913. The square hole is a Prest-O-Lite key, used to turn the valves of the gas lamps on the running boards on your auto. (JFO# A-4).
    Pic #2. Fancy Lady's Boot, is 3 1/8" long. Pat. #42,306, to John L. Sommer, of J. L. Sommer Manufacturing Company, Newark, New Jersey, on March 12, 1912. (JFO# A-7).
    Pic #3. Baseball Pitcher, with Prest-O-Lite key, is 3 1/8" long. Pat. #46,298, to John L. Sommer, on August 18, 1914. (JFO# A-9).
    Pic. #4. Eagle, with bottle top, is 2 7/8" long. Pat. April 30, 1912, to C. T. & O. Co, Chicago. (JFO# A-70).

    Not bad graphics on them, for being nearly a century old each.
    I also find it interesting that you could use the Prest-O-Lite key to turn on the car lights, to drive home, after using the opener to open your beers......Don't try that today!
    Thanks for looking,
    Lumpy

      Thanks, BeauxPurdy. Gasoline fired lights on a moving auto, how safe is that!

      Beaux, the lamps worked very similar to how a camping lantern works b pressurizing gas to create a flame, it's all very complex but the had there own fuel supply....they are commonly refered to as "Brass Cars"
