Bottlecaps

About Bottlecaps

A journal about bottle-cap collecting, design and history. Look closer at the little things worth keeping.

A journal with a clear point of view

We care about the design, provenance and stories behind a cap. We distinguish documented history from a collector’s best guess, and never turn an unverified listing into a claim of rarity or value.

What you will find here

Our main topics are Collecting, History, Field notes. We aim to give each article a useful purpose and link to the sources behind factual claims.

Independent and open about the process

This independent publication is developed by Shared for James. Articles can be researched and drafted with AI assistance. We check sources and review drafts before publication; AI assistance does not replace editorial responsibility. Read our editorial policy for our standards and correction process.
