I’m not sure if this bottle is pre-or post 1900 but it belonged to my grandparents who died in the 30’s! Any help identifying would be greatly appreciated!
There is not a seam.Almost certainly some kind of liquor. Hard to tell the exact age - can you take pictures of the neck/seam? if the seam goes all the way through the lip it's likely post-1915.
I'm pretty sure that stopper was not made to accommodate a shell cork; there would be no reason for the ground finish. Glass and porcelain stoppers that were paired with shell corks had barely tapered shanks that were usually proportionally smaller in diameter compared to the bottle opening than that of the item shown (think of the common Lea & Perrins stoppers that paired with shell corks as closure of those Worcestershire Sauce bottles).Just saw your pics, I was too busy posting that block of text to notice, haha! That stopper is interesting and there is a possibility I didn't think of, being that it originally had a cork lining that allowed it to fit snug in the lip. I've seen that on newer bottles but not on anything that old personally, perhaps someone else would have more input there?
