My "new" capper

[PolishWineP]

Being of royal blood the PWP could see both pictures and the capper pleases her very much.

I love that it's painted gold! And I bet it will last for many more generations. Smurfe, don't covet too much!

I had to switch to IE mode in firefox, but was finally able to see it. Very cool. I like history like that...............

Just a tip when you use a photobucket link. Just look in the drop down box on the pic in photobucket and look for the link that says IMG Code. Put your cursor on that, right click, choose copy.


Now come here to your post you are writing, place your cursor in the post here you want the pic to appear (I normally go after all of my typing) Right click again, choose Paste and the IMG Code link will show up. Thats all there is to it.


When you are done typing the post just click submit and you are done. You can always preview prior to see what it looks like. I find this easier than trying to upload pics onto the server.

Thanks smurfe! I'll give that a shot next time.

Nice carvings too.
The problem with antiques is that it takes so long for the new ones to come out.

 

[dragonmaster42]

Thanks RockyTop. The carvingkeeps me busy and (usually) out of trouble when I'm in a creative mood.

hey hey hey and hi

I FOUND IT!</font>

Remembered that I, too, have an antique beer bottle capper!! This is from grandfathers farm and I am sure he used it in the prohibition era too. Anyway, here is a picture of it AND</font> a 1/2 full box of antique bottle caps too. (did not count them - see picture!!)

This is cast iron - made in USA stamped on bottom. Is red in color and does not have magnet in the capper part. Photo makes it look a little squished but it is about 17" tall.

SO</font> here it is - not painted gold but works fine and showing a little rust. Could be cleaned up and painted to look great.

I am not attached to 'this' and am not going to be making beer so anybody wanna trade? For wine of course - - - - would like something from a different part of the country than california to try and sample - - like scuppernong or ???

will consider all offers so let the fun begin - - - - probably be best to PM me with questions - - -

thanx

DM 42 that looks alot like the capper I have, but mine isn't nice gold but works pretty well, have to get picture of it.

You might want to hang on to it incase you ever make Hard Cider and bottle in beer bottles....

We have been collecting some old bottle cappers....One was patented in 1922...must have been made special for 'Home Brewers"

Well, you do have a camera ya know!

 

[dragonmaster42]

I like how they make sureon the box it's clearly for "home use only".


I think my grandfatherpainted it gold during the 60's or early 70's. I remember it always being on a shelf in his garage that way although I'm sure that wasn't original that color. The base was replaced too.
