Robin,
In 1955, plastic liners replaced cork liners (Lief 1965:40).

Histarch,
I remember reading somrwhere obscure that there is a specific date
associated with the switch from cork crown cap liners to those made of
rubber. Somewhere in the vicinity of 1920-1930, I recall.
Can anybody confirm or refute this?
Thanks,
