Vintage 1930s Knickerbocker beer cork lined Bottle Cap, Jacob Rupert, RARE!

Description: This is a very storied company, and the caps are rare in any condition. These are used as shown in the picture. Marked "Knickerbocker Jacob Rupert, New York, N.Y." Great image of a Benjamin Franklin looking character. The side is marked "Pennsylvania Malt Beverage Tax Paid" "One Pint or Less". Jacob Rupert (General Manager of the Brewery with his name on the cap) was a very famous person. He is best known for owning the New York Highlanders baseball team which he purchased, changed the name to the New York Yankees, and owned from 1915 - 1939. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2013. He also served four terms in the United States House of Representatives. The Pennsylvania malt tax plus the Jacob Rupert name dates them to the mid to late 1930s. (Inventory# T19-23) ** Any questions about this item, please ask :) ** ** We do combine shipping - if wanting a quote - just ask :) ** *We offer local pick-up (we have a storefront in Fairbanks, Alaska) - Please let us know before payment is made* Don't forget to check out our other items! We have LOTS of vintage items, Alaska souvenirs, collectibles, novelties and much more listed in our store !! SHIPPING NOTE:We offer 1 day handling, meaning we mail items within 24 hours of purchase (except on weekends and non mailing holidays of course) , but seeing how we are in North Pole Alaska, items may take 3-5 days longer to arrive at the destination than what eBay's notice quotes. They no longer process mail in Alaska, so an item I mail here takes 1to get from North Pole to Anchorage, then usually 1 day to be flown to a processing center (we've been told by postal employee that it's in Denver Colorado), then 1 day to get sorted. So there's a lag time of 3 days in there that eBay does not take into consideration for Sellers that are in Alaska. So please keep that in mind when buying from us to add those extra travel days to the expected arrival time that eBay sends you. Thank You! **International Buyers** – Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. **special note on arrival times** International mail has taken anywhere from 7 days to a month to arrive, (item can be held up in customs or at anywhere along the line) this is just how the postal system works, we mail things out the next day after the item is paid for and hopefully that helps in getting the item to you as fast as the postal system can get it there. *** Please Note: The photos are taken on a measuring mat or next to a ruler for sizing. Some start at the 1 inch mark on both top and bottom (the gird does not have markings on the outside so we have to move it up an inch so you can see the numbers)... you just have to count over by inches to see the exact dimensions of the patch on the grid - any questions please ask.
