<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 503673, member: 2844&quot;]Sorry guys, as a snuff bottle collector I can tell you that this pretty shadowbox is of no interest to fellow collectors. It has decorative value, not collectable value, and these are probably still being made today. Best to check ebay etc for similar bottles and boxes.</p><p>I don&#039;t know the exact date when the red plastic stoppers were introduced, but I didn&#039;t see them before ca 2000. It is extremely doubtful anyone would have replaced nice older stoppers with these plastic ones. Loose stoppers for sale online are Peking glass or a nice (gem)stone, often mounted in brass</p><p><br /></p><p>Recent bottles can fetch amazing prices, but they would have to have a more artistic quality, and preferably be by a known artist or studio.</p><p>This is a ca 1980 Peach River Studio bottle from my collection, also inside painted. Other artists can be much more expensive.</p><p>As you can see the stopper is not of the recent red plastic variety.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> Believe me, stoppers on collectible bottles never are.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/upload_2018-1-5_12-59-33-jpeg.106427/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
