Hello. I have a dug "Father John's" bottle, but it appears to have a screw top. When were screw top bottles invented? thanks.

Hello,

I may be wrong but I think the early 1900's

The external screw threads were first used during the 19th century. One of the first was the 1858 MASON JAR.
Continuous screw thread was first used on Heinz catsup in 1925....PAPPY

ERIC, The one pictured 1860-1910 is a Non Continuous screw top not a continuous screw top....PAPPY
