Tom, or anyone:

I don't know if this is the proper thread to ask this question, but I didn't see references to it in the stopper/spoon  category, so newbie me will ask here: How much does the stopper/spoon design affect the value of a given bottle? Or if the stopper or spoon is missing, how much is detracted?  Is it just assumed that stoppers and spoons usually aren't original?  When I saw your beautiful fossiliferous limestone bottle I immediately thought the stopper and collar added so much to its total presence aesthetically.  Does it matter?

Cheers,


Rheuben
