Would one of those clip-down water bottle type lids with the rubber seal fit? You know, these things:

Go to the beer store and get a six-pack of Grolsh, Hirlau. Then, you can get 5 more Pinaud bottles....and be smashed! ;)

Very Aussie attitude there Bruce. Beer solves all problems :)

And they say drinking kills brain cells - Oz can remember when Grolsch came with little tin foil lids like the old milk bottles... :)

Hi John, that's a nice example of an aqua green Pinaud bottle that (more than likely) held Lilac Vegetal.
The top and cap would have been zinc alloy and has long since corroded away.
Impossible to find separately but still available with some vintage bottles for sale.

Your bottle would have looked like the advert on the left and the cap would have been
the same as the middle pic.

Until we have easy access to 3-D printers, we'll have to use good old fashioned corks
like the right-hand pic.

Perhaps a few years longer, but not all that much I don't think ;)

I remember when the milkman brought the bottles to the front door and they had little tin foil lids too. That milkman sure did visit a lot....:D

If anyone has Vegetal bottles they'd like to send me, I can stand them up on my cats' litterboxes and when they are full I will mail them back to you!

John, I forgot to mention, don't throw away the plastic bottle until you have
photocopied the label in colour (and black 'n' white too) as it does look good on glass.

OR....

Cut off the neck of the plastic bottle, down to the shoulder to save the thread and cap.
If you want to remove the label, rinse out the bottle and fill with water.
Stick in the microwave and "nuke" (800W) for 10 seconds at a time until the label can be peeled off.

You can then either stick the label on the bottle and cut with a craft knife/razorblade to conform with the
shape of the concave bottle-face, cutting off the barcode, which is aesthetically good, or stick to a thin backing paper and photocopy.
