Thomas C. Hamilton of Boston, Massachusetts, filed for a patent for a Bottle Cap Puller on September 18, 1924. The patent, numbered 1,534,211, was granted on April 21, 1925. In 1943, modifications to the patent led to the issuance of a new patent, #2,333,088, to Raymond Brown, the owner of Brown Manufacturing Company. Until the early 1970s, all bottle openers were cast in various foundries throughout the USA.
