Found a bucket of old bottle caps. Any ideas on age?

Found a bucket of old bottle caps. Any ideas on age?

I'm guessing 1950/60s?

There are a bunch more, but they're the same as these.

Updated Collection!

I’ve been collecting since I was 3 years old. Gotten bottle caps from at least a dozen countries. Just recently organized them all again! There’s about 770 total! Let me know what I should do with them all I’m not sure yet!

My entire collection so far

Plus the sawed-open cans I carry them in. I know, I need to hoover the floor, I’m getting to it 😅

Update: How to know if something's valuable?

Thank you everyone who commented on my original post! These are most of the caps in question - the rest is about half a big coffee can full of caps that are new, blank, or too distressed to ID. Appreciate you all! Don't want to end up damaging something that could be valuable or of particular interest.

Interesting beer bottles

I bought these on FB marketplace.
There is a Springfield Breweries beer bottle with porcelain stopper, a James Geraghty of Holyoke, Mass., a La Choy soy sauce bottle, a salad dressing bottle, a Fletcher’s Castoria bottle, a Foss’ Liquid Fruit Flavor, 2 oz, Portland, ME, a brown ribbed bottle, and a medicine bottle with dosage markings.

How to know if something's valuable?

I acquired about 5lbs of old cork backed caps, mostly unbent, for an art project and was wondering if I should be on the lookout for anything? I looked at the websites listed in the sticky but I didn't see value info, just ID.

New additions

I received these caps on the mail today. So happy about the variety and quality. They are mostly (I would say all of them) from Germany.

New Additions, with one curveball

Picked up this lot from a dude in Texas (clearly). Some cool stuff and new colors for me from classic brands. At first glance I was very confused by the “yellow” Shiner Holiday in the bottom right as I’ve never seen a yellow one before….but when I actually picked it up it’s clear it’s just a veryyyy light and maybe chemically exposed cap 😂

Has anyone else been fooled by an altered cap before??

Collectors

“I have this Coca-Cola 100th anniversary bottle from Colombia, 1986. Does anyone know its value or whether collectors are interested in buying it?”

Uzbekistan kyrgyzstan kazakhstan

Do you have any experience collecting bottlecaps from those places? Have read that those are mainly muslim countries where alcohol is rarely drank thus very few caps may be available. Any tips or experience you want to share?

My beginning collection (NL)

Started around a year ago, having a lot of fun finding new caps from trying new drinks I wouldn’t normally try, or even finding a discarded cap outside and pocketing it! Friends are also donating when they go on holiday.

I bought a metal board to display them on which eventually I’ll hang on my wall, but it’s taking a lot of time to put together as I need to glue magnets to the back of each cap 😂

Anyone want to trade?

Hey all, Im based in Utah, USA. Just seeing if anyone is looking to trade. Willing to trade internationally as long as freight isn't too crazy. I can DM you the photos as well since they came out a little fuzzy in the post. Cheers!

Possibly rare find?

Pete’s Brewing Company, found in the river. Might be rare? They went out of business in 2011
