: Do you put new lids on your oil quarts that have no tops or bottoms? Do you feel this effects the value up or down? Just seeking some opinions. Thanks, Ron.

Ron, Ron Scobie (see this site) makes master oil spouts from the original dies. To my knowledge, he makes the only repros I've seen. I use his because I do 12 bottle racks and its hard enough to match twelve bottles, let along trying to get 12 matching spouts. I recently did a rack of 12 original gargoyle bottles and probably bought 30 bottles to match 12 and get 12 decent spouts. Just my opinion of course. I checked one of my original master oil spouts against the new one from Scobie and I couldn't see any difference other than the new one is 100% nicer in appearance. Some of the Standard Oil Plastic spouts are being reprod but I have not seen them.
