Other designswith the "X" underneath STARR, "patent pending" or"Patented April 21, 1925" are also very collectible because they aresome of the oldest known designs. But there is so much more to know.

What improvements weremade to the original ‘Thomas Hamilton’ patent to allow a new patent (2,333,088)to be issued to Raymond Brown in 1943?
Raymond Brown Sr. filedfor a patent on a modified version of the Thomas Hamilton patent on February 9,1942. It was granted on November 2, 1943. The main improvement to the originalpatent was the inclusion of 2 back stops adjacent to the prying lip of thebottle opener. These back stops kept bottle caps from being caught in theopener so the next user would not have to physically remove the bottle cap withtheir fingers."
