Bottle Opener with Sterling Silver Handle.

The more widely accepted history attributes the invention of both the bottle cap and the bottle opener to the same man, William Painter. These two little gadgets made Painter’s fortune and forever changed the world of beverage-drinking.

Before he secured the patent for the “crown cork”, beer was either stopped up with a cork or a swing top. Both bottles and stoppers tended to be reusable, which predictably spawned all manner of hygienic issues and because none of the pre-existing stoppers was especially ineffective, beer could easily be both germ-filled and flat.
