Comstock-Bolton Co.
Vintage Hand-Held Bottle Capper
Patented December 21, 1920


This early 20th-century tool was manufactured by the Comstock-Bolton Co. in Kansas City, Missouri. Designed for manual crown cork bottling, this capper represents a transition in home-brewing and beverage preservation technology following the widespread adoption of the crown cap. The tool features dual-handle mechanical action and is clearly stamped with the manufacturer's name, location, and original patent information, reflecting American industrial manufacturing of the era.


• Heavy-duty steel construction designed for high-pressure crown cap sealing
• Authentic maker's marks including Comstock-Bolton Co. logo and Kansas City, MO location
• Historical artifact from the early 20th-century era of American home bottling and preservation


Condition: Significant vintage wear and heavy surface oxidation throughout all metal components. Extensive pitting and surface rust are present on the handles and capper head. The mechanical movement is intact but stiff due to age and oxidation. Item is sold primarily for display or restoration; functionality not confirmed.
