Anyone recognize this bottlecap?
 

I found this under the back seat of my 944 when I pulled it out. It was sort of embedded in the glue and fibers. I think it might have been there since the factory.

Anyone recognize it? (I wrecked the paint a little when trying to clean off the fiber. D'oh!)

German Mineral Water Cap

Agreed, its a mineral water cap, believe might one that is carbonated but not sure.

Did you find it inside your 911?

I think whoever built the car left it in there.

It says: Mineral Heil Quelle Ensingen

Otherwise known as 'Ensinger', a small bottler of mineral water from Baden Wuerttemberg - not far from Stuttgart.

So this may indeed have come from the factory.

That's cool!

That's pretty neat. If that mineral water is from Baden-Württemberg, then it definately was left there by a worker in the factory.

944's were not made in the Porsche factory in Stuttgart, but instead in the old NSU/VW factory in Baden-Württemberg/Neckarsulm.

Somebody drinking on the job.

Keep it and store with all your car paperwork. Interesting thing to pass along with the car should you sell it.

Also email me sometime and will see if I can pick up a unopened bottle of the same water for you next time I am in Germany. That and the old bottle cap would be nice.

Wasn't every member of the crew in Zuffenhausen (not sure about Neckarsulm) allowed one bottle of beer during the lunch break?

Very cool!

That is standard in most if not all labor contracts in Germany, or was in the old days when I lived there. Each worker was allowed to have one bottle of beer, no more, during lunch.

Wonder why the afternoon batch of cars took longer? :)

Testing motors in 1972 (note bottles to right :cool: )
