Hi Jargm,

It is a British Design Registration Number, similar to a patent number.
Rd. No.295650 shows the design was first registered in 1897, however, the item can be manufactured long after that date.

Hi Old Wiltshire thanks for your info jim

Would have been cork lined and probably from a British food bottle of some kind.

 

[Jargm]

do you no what it was used on Old Wiltshire?

 

[nhpharm]

Could have been a broad range of products. I've seen similar stoppers on Morton's table salt and Swan brand table salt bottles. A very similar style stopper was used in the US for Mellin's Infant Food bottles.
