I'm no expert, but I went digging (no pun intended) for information and came across the Society for Historical Archaeology (SHA)'s page on closure types (https://sha.org/bottle/closures.htm#Glass).

They have a section on threaded glass stoppers, but don't go on to say a timeframe when they were produced - just that two examples were patented in the 1860s and 1870s. They seem to be pretty rare as they were often a bit hard to remove/reinsert into the bottle, so they weren't all that popular. Their page mentions that this type of closure is rarely on U.S. bottles, and more likely came from a European liquor (whiskey, etc.).

I think there's also a chance yours is a later (early 1900s) cork & glass stopper that has long lost its cork exterior. Some glass/cork stoppers were threaded to make it more likely the cork would come out with the stopper rather than remaining embedded.
