Chicago Whiskey Bottle

[Harry Pristis]

Here is an image of a Chapin & Gore whiskey bottle from Chicago. These bottles were closed with an inside-thread stopper (see if you can make out the threads in the image).

I see these bottles fairly often at bottle shows and on eBay, but they never have a stopper. The stopper is likely to have been made of hard rubber which should have survived in many burial situations. The stopper may have been marked with a patentee's name, rather than "Chapin & Gore."

Any of you diggers here come across a stopper like this?

I'm surprised. No one here has dug an inside-thread stopper that might fit this bottle??
