A lot of brew shops will sell the Grolsch type bottles, new. They should be easy to find, and you can pick up brown ones - which are even better at filtering out UV rays.

Try the German Beer club, you might be lucky and score some Hacker Pschorr bottles,

And awesome swing-tops they are.
Schwelmer are also great swing-top bottles, and the right amber colour too.

Another swing-top fan checking in -- I have both Schwelmer and HP bottles and they're pretty bloody good.

The only caveat with the HP bottles is that some of them have a plastic nipple thing over the bottom of the ceramic stopper, and the rubber washer seems to be molded/glued to the plastic. You can jimmy off/cut the plastic easily enough, but the bottom of the ceramic stopper isn't glazed like the rest of it (it's kinda porous?), so a replacement silicone seal will fit, but it may not necessarily work.

I've got some irons in the fire regarding replacement ceramic stoppers, but all options seem to be pretty expensive (unless I buy a bulk lot of 500 from China).

The seals on the HP bottles are pretty darn good. When I first got mine and noticed what you mention, I was a bit concerned that the seals would perish and I'd have to change the entire bail and top. I've had them for a couple of years now and there doesn't seem to be any deterioration at all.

That's actually really handy to know, cheers!
