This is a pretty cool poison stopper with Skull and Crossbones.Seems to be kind of rare. Any info?

It might be rare, as I have never seen it before, but most stoppers did not have embossing on poisons, but just a few. majority just had corks. So I'm inclined to think this went to a booze bottle, as decking them out to look like Dad's hooch was poison was popular during a period of time in the past.
