One of the 2 Sterling Silver Lids does have some minor damage on the lip that sits into the bottle, it can be repaired if desired, but as it does not really show with the lid on, it would be a personal decision.

This is a family that for seven hundred years has been prominent in the public life of England and American, producing men of marked ability and distinction. Crusaders, knights, judges, naval and military heroes, civic officers, diplomats, governors, senator, and congressmen have brought their honors to the family name through the long centuries. The name is derived from two Saxon words, "stoc," a tree trunk, and "tun," an inclosure, indicative of the original locality of the family in feudal times, which was a forest inclosure. The earliest ancestors were lords of the manor of Stockton, which they held under the barony of Malpas.

He was for many years incumbent of the parishes of Elizabeth City and Bermuda Hundred, and became the progenitor of numerous descendants, many of whom have become distinguished. The next Stockton to emigrate from England was, according to Hotten's "Lists," Thomas Stockton, aged twenty-one, who sailed from London for Boston in the ship "True Love," September 16, 1635.
