Ground glass closures are incredibly tight to begin with. It is why they are often used for chemical reagent bottles and even laboratory glassware. Add the adhesion produced by decades of contents drying as a result of what little evaporation can escape the tight interface and I'm thinking the stopper might just as well be epoxied in place. Of course, even an epoxy bond can be defeated. The question is, will the bottle survive required procedures intact?Anybody ever try and get a glass cork out?
There's no reason really for me to remove it, other than to straighten it out.

I just looked up what some people are selling this for, and was a little shocked!
1905 Larkin Soap Company of Buffalo, NY Bottle on Mercari
This is a fantastic early bottle produced by the Larkin Soap Company of Buffalo, NY. The bottle is 2 colors . The top is aquamarine blue. The base is a green blue or teal color. The base bottle and the top fit perfectly and is obviously the stopper for this bottle. It is very attractively...www.mercari.com
I can't remember where I found this one, but I seem to remember it being inside a ghost town building.
