Wasnt sure where to post this sorry. These are the stoppers I have found so far. Any idea what they are made from? Almost feels like stone. Thanks.

They look like old eye dropper stoppers with the glass tube part missing. Just a guess[:)]

They are internal thread bottle stoppers. The internal thread bottle and stopper was in vented in the US before the Civil War but never caught on. The patent expired and English glass houses started using it some time in the 1870s. The stoppers were made from wood, a hard rubberized type of plastic and rubber coated wood.

I am not sure wherre you got them, how deep in the hole but they sure like your standard run of the mill thermos screw tops.

But,
while I have a group of divergent thinkers, ponder this:
Why are minutes, minute and not seconds.

I must agree with Capsoda on this one they are internal thread bottle stoppers or as we say in Ca. inside screws. I have a few Ca. whiskeys with this type of top...What it says on the stoppers might also be a clue.. But Capsoda pegged this one..I think..[:D]
