In 1775, Philadelphia's Tun Tavern became the birthplace of the United States Marine Corps. More than 250 years later, that famous beginning makes raising a glass an especially fitting way to honor the history and traditions of the Corps. And now, you may be able to commemorate the USMC's 250th anniversary with a collection of U.S. Marine Corps collectible bottle openers that combines history, pride and craftsmanship. The Bradford Exchange is thrilled to offer a special opportunity to reserve the USMC Bottle Opener Collection. Pending sufficient demand, your officially licensed collection will begin with Issue One, Tun Tavern. Soon, your collection will continue with Issue Two, Eagle, Globe & Anchor and additional collectible USMC bottle openers, each a separate issue to follow.‡

Expertly handcrafted with all-metal construction and meticulously painted by hand, each bottle opener in this collection will showcase iconic symbols and stories from U.S. Marine Corps history. The first issue will pay tribute to Tun Tavern, followed by the legendary Eagle, Globe and Anchor, with additional USMC icons continuing the collection. Plus, hand-enameled color and raised bas-relief detailing will add striking dimension to each distinctive design. Both functional and collectible, these bottle openers will offer a bold way to honor the traditions, service and brotherhood of the Corps. You may display them as part of your military collection or put them to use when raising a toast to the USMC. They will also make a unique military gift for an active-duty Marine, veteran or history enthusiast. Intense demand is anticipated, so don't wait to reserve your collection. Order now!
