Folks, I just dug this out of the barn:
It was sold to me as unissued, and that may very well be correct. Nevertheless, it's sixty some years old and the stopper is a little... erm... gross. The nut is rusty and there appears to be some cork rot. I'd like to replace the stopper and it appears that I can just unscrew the nut, clean it up, slide the cork off the stud, slot on a new cork and be done.
Anyone done this? Tips on where to find a replacement cork? I'd like to start using this thing.
