bottle stopper? - 11/5/2006 5:42:23 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2012 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline I dug this up today and thought it was an electrical fuse atfirst but then I saw the "m" or "w" embossed on the top. I thought possibly it had a cork attached to it but I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas? Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

I always figured it was the cover to some sort of cosmetic or cold cream jar. The one I have is 1 5/8 in. across. From other material dumped with it I think it's from the 1920's or 30's. Just my guess Cliff. (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 3
