William Beardsley Patentee Beacon Iowa base embossed May 12th 1885 Beacon IA 1886 Beardsley was born in England in 1850 and came to Iowa in 1871 where he entered business as a druggist. A half a dozen different style Beardsley soda bottles exist, including a Hutchison stopper bottle with the six dimples, but this is his only threaded finish bottle. Beardsley was an innovative type bottler, but he was unable to obtain caps to seal the bottles and his threaded finish bottles never were used. The 1885 patent must have been for the threaded cap. This is the earliest example of this type cap finish for soft drinks. The aluminum “roll on closure” or “twist cap” came into use I about 1970, and the present day plastic “twist cap” in about 1985, a century after Beardsley designed this bottle. Beardsley’s son also was a druggist and was elected Governor of Iowa in 1948. Unknown
