That's close enough to perfect for me.  I'm really glad that you were able to locate the top - since I would never consider selling/trading such an incredible  "found" bottle I would not be bummed about such a minor flaw.  Congratz - I'm gonna find me mine tomorrow...

I think the A Faiver and H. Fitzgerald DC torpedoes are about as rare followed by the Henkee & Maack, Mckeaon, and then the  McKeaon & McGrann.

Depends on what you use to repair it. That two part epoxy you buy at wal-mart wont hold up to a tumble. It never really gets hard enough nor is it made for wet applications. The opposite is true for an epoxy made especially for glass repair. Once allowed to cure the stuff can be ground and polished like the glass it's holding together. Plus it will never turn yellow like the 5 minute epoxy.

That would be S3000 crystal repair epoxy. Dries as clear as glass, can be tinted and stays where it is put.
