What was produced at the factory, how was it sealed?

I just got nice visit caps of Fedorov family.

Old steel caps dug out from the ground are very fragile, so we must be very careful with them.

At the end of the calendar, it's a good time to strike a balance. I'm very glad that interest in this project continues to rise. Though we also have an English version, according to statistics most of the visitors come from the former USSR, and we will support a dual language interface in future despite the fact that it takes some extra effort to do so.

If you want to clean up the mess in your collection, our catalog is your chance! You can mark your caps just clicking on them. Of course you have to be registered to make all that.

The crowncaps.su team continues to work on the catalog's completeness and usefulness. The good news is that we continue to have more caps and fewer white spots! However, we shouldn't forget the quality of the material in the catalog. Very often, we receive pictures that do not look as good as what we want, and expect, in a quality catalog. Because even a poor picture is better than none at all, we post pictures of inferior quality anyway in the hope we can replace them in the future with better ones.

In this article I will try to describe a very interesting hobby – metal detection – and how it relates to our own more general hobby, crown caps collecting.

Dmitri Senkevich has sent me an old beer catalog from 1957 entitled "Beer and Alcohol-free Beverages".

I have not written any posts during the last few weeks, primarily because there has been no significant news. In a sense, "no news is good news" because this indicates that the project is stable and continues to evolve as it becomes better known among collectors. There have been a few additions, though: Andrey Maslov has posted some aluminum variations from Moscow. There is still much to do before the site is comprehensive.

We have a new editor in our catalog!
