[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 373789, member: 85"][ATTACH=full]128631[/ATTACH] The stoppers may not be original to begin with. Looking at the color of the glass. #1 is a mismatch. If that stopper fits #2 it replicates the shape of the bottle and is a better color match. #1 and #3 are your oldest bottles 1860ish. May have had corks to begin with - I believe they are whiskey bottles. If the stopper you have on #4 fits number one, the glass color is a better match. Does the stopper in #2 fit #4. #5 probably had a ruby stopper, but if #3 fits it might look ok.[/QUOTE]
