Anyone know a good place to find unused bottle caps? I am trying to build up a collection of them to use as labels for the selection buttons in my pepsi machine but they are pretty hard to find. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks

The local home brew store may have a few but those will be leftover current brands. For vintage ebay is the only source I know of.

I have a box of blank caps but I would really like to get some with the logos on them. I was thinking about building a silk screening thing and trying to silk screen logos on the caps but I am not sure how to go about doing that or if it would even work.

Silk screen would be tricky. Vinyl decals would be easier.

Silk screening or vinyl would be difficult due to the size you are working with. .
I've seen caps in flea markets, antiqueshops, and of course greedbay.

When I was looking for some I found this site http://thebottlecapman.com/ , even if you don't want to buy any you can least capture some of the images (most look to be descent resolution) and size them to fix on you blank bottle cap Ray |

You may want to try the Crowncap Collectors Society International website - http://www.bottlecapclub.org/ they have a want ad's page. They also have shows with a big one in Pennsylvania every year in conjunction with a large beer collectibles show. I have been to it several times and you wouldn't believe how many crowns are there. |

If any of you guys come accross a bag of random soda caps for a few bucks let me know. Nice thing about collecting these is that they take up almost no space at all.

It is held in March in Harrisburgh. The owner of this site www.cansmartbeercans.com puts it on. Or for a list of beer collectible shows visit www.bcca.comI guess I should have looked to see if posting links is ok on this board. If not I apologize in advance and feel free to remove them. |
