They don't look original. Was this done for any reason? :D
Does it affect the value? Joey Title: Re: An Exceptional Group of Glass Bottles Post by: Fiveroosters aka clayandbrush on December 22, 2014, 01:55:55 pm Dear Tom I didn't know that my wife has been at your home. She is specialist in exchanging stoppers ;D
I agree with your dating. Kind regards Giovanni Title: Re: An Exceptional Group of Glass Bottles Post by: David on December 22, 2014, 07:07:50 pm Dear Joey,
You're not kidding! ;D So, not only expert in Snuff Bottle, but miniature alcohol too!

They don't look original. Was this done for any reason? :D Dear Joey, You may be right! There is a small but subtle difference between French 'imperial' blue and Napoleonic blue, and your expert eye has picked up the difference. 8) Happy holidays!
