Glass Cork?

[cornspike]

Was this used in a medicine or perfume bottle?

Perfume bottle but maybe from one of those small viniger dispencers that would sit on a kitchen table.

Thats hard to say as that type of stopper was widely used in the late 1800's-,for many glass containers

Looks big for a glass perfume stopper. I have seen vinegar and oil bottles with stoppers like that.

I remember those from glass containers with hydrochloric acid in them back when I was in high school in our lab. Guess that was before everything became child-proof.

Too big for perfume....have found quite a few. I think that type of top were on medicinal bottles....although I am not an expert.

While all the answers above are good and this shape may have been used for many type bottles, the 1911 Illinois Glass Company book shows this shape stopper used in Perfumers' Ware, stoppered extract bottle no.1773.
