[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 314206, member: 136"]Many long years ago, I bought an open box lot of 20 or so assorted stoppers at an antiques store that was going out of business. I was able to use maybe 3 of them myself, and I sold the rest of them individually on eBay. As Don mentioned, they sold quite well. (My initial "investment" in the lot was covered by my first sale.) Lately, I've been looking for one to fit a cruet I have - I actually don't care if it matches or not, as long as it FITS. I've found that many folks on eBay don't mention the DIAMETER of the [B]"business end"[/B] of the stopper. To me, that's far more important than the height of the thing OR the diameter of the ornamental top. If it doesn't FIT in whatever container I have, it doesn't matter how pretty or tall it is![/QUOTE]
