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.

I've never seen a stopper like that before, it looks pretty wicked.

Is it a ground glass stopper or cork wrap?

That should eliminate a booze for the most part. I'd go with something in an apothecaries cabinet.
