Very nice Malkey! Is that a cork stopper?
MALKEY, 10 years ago
Hi Rick no its a pottery stopper and has a wee handle to thanks for the love too
Rick55, 10 years ago
I never would have guessed it as it matches perfectly.
MALKEY, 10 years ago
yes it has an internal screw thread too Rick

It's funny you say that Malkey because I was going to ask if it was a screw cap, but I didn't want to sound ignorant. I didn't know if they used anything other than corks in those days.

Hi Rick the internal screw thread was patented in the mid 1880s most widely known as Riley's patent

See my post that shows the screw:

In America alone we had over 100 types of closure invented. Most didn't take off, but the British really liked the internal-threaded screw.
