Description

White reusable plastic bottle cap, designed to be used with glass bottles with crown cork or similar caps (non-reclosable). A plastic cap is attached to a plastic stem and loop to attach the cap to the bottleneck. Commonly used in the mid-late 20th century as promotional items by various bands. Bears branding for Texaco. Features: White base plastic, with the Texaco logo (ring of gold, in which is a gold star, with the silhouette of a "T" in the star, and "TEXACO" across the top of the arms of the star) in gold print on the top of the cap. In front of the cap is a tab for easy removal from the bottle, and in the back is attached a stem ending in a loop that can attach the cap to the bottle even when open.
