Source of teardrop bottle stopper

Have searched but not found a source for stainless steel teardrop shaped bottle stoppers. Is that because they do not exist? Thought the teardrop shape would be better suited to stay in a bottle, but could easily be wrong.

Many thanks Ken...was looking everywhere but the obvious. Now I can add these to the pens, yoyos and other stuff for friends and family in a few months. I will need to call them though; seems they list only the plated stoppers. They have some 'splainin' to do.

Uh Folks.....

I use Ruth's SS stoppers but the OP wanted teardrop shaped. That is the only reason I didn't mention Ruth's.

Oh, I know about Ruths...and will order the standard from her. But as noted, am also looking for the teardrop; seems they might have less probability to tip....wanted to try them out of curiosity.
