Auction Description

TavernTrove Thursday Night Crown Auction #3 by TavernTrove
Bottle caps are the last thing separating the beer-drinker from his favorite beverage. As such, Crowns, as they are known, are crucial in their design. A good crown design stands out among the bottle necks protruding from a cooler or a snowbank. It should say "Pick Me" , much like the key to room #1 called to Norman Bates when Marion Crane checked in to the family hotel. Removing a crown should provide just enough resistance so as to make the effort anticipatory, yet not unpleasantly daunting. The appearance of the creasing metal closure should complement the hiss of wet carbon dioxide and the cold gentle spray of beer on one's fingers. The bent bottle lid should rest at a jaunty angle on the bartop - not too acute, and invoke a message of fond remembrance of a beer well-drank. The crowns in this auction are some of the highest-functioning crowns in the hobby. Read more

Shipping Info

Unless otherwise requested, shipping will be fulfilled via USPS or UPS. Insurance on winnings of over $50 is required, as is a handling fee, to cover to cost of labor and materials. Generally, this is 50¢ per can, $1 per tray and bottle, $10 per wooden crate. Medium-sized signs will require a $5-10 handling fee. The handling fee for large items could be quite a bit more. Shipping charges will be combined for multiple lots, of course. Read more
