  Stainless Steel Bottle Stoppers
made in the USA

       These stoppers are made of solid 304 FDA kitchen-grade stainless steel. 
The o-rings are FDA grade nitrile and are 3 different sizes allowing for a tight seal in various size bottles.  The o-rings fit tight into clean precision-cut grooves with squared edges so there is never a need to remove them.  Rounded edges allow moisture (dirt) to get into the curve and makes it a little more difficult to have your custom top fit flush to the edge.

     These stoppers complement your work rather than compete with it. 
They are designed to sit low in the bottle out of sight. 
See how nicely the apple stopper at the bottom of this page looks in the bottle.

     You can be confident telling your customers and gift recipients these stoppers can be used in their wine or vinegar bottles for any length of time because they will never corrode. 

     Don't be fooled by copies not made in the US, email me if you are in doubt as to their authenticity.  To read how this design came about, go to the bottom of my Home page.

 

 


      Please note:  I will be at the woodturning show in Waco, TX from Tues., Aug. 24 until   Wed., Sept. 1 and will not be able to ship any orders during that time.  I do hope this does not cause any inconvenience.                                  Thank you.

Your artwork should sit on the bottle, not grow out of the metal.

  The metal should seal the bottle, not be part of your artwork.
