I found two thermos bottles at my grandmothers house they came in what looked like a picnic carrying case when i took the cup lids off top instead of a screw cap they had cork stoppers. any help with the age, are these rare or just plain they have never been used

wow - i have never seen thermos bottle with cork stoppers on them. i'd say you contact thermos and find out when they were produced and stuff. they'd probably fetch an amount of money if they are in mint condidtion like you said, that is, if you wanted to sell them...

They sound old, maybe from the 1930s. I seem to remember seeing these cork stoppers when I was a little girl in the early 50s.
