This cap originally had a cork attached to it and it was inserted into the neck of a saloon or bar bottle.  Kind of like wine bottles today, where as the cork is removed with a cork screw and discarded, then an ornate or fancy stopper is inserted in the freshly opened bottle.  Back 100 years ago, a saloon owner used a fancy stopper like this one to re-cork the bottle and advertise his establishment.  Most all of these that you see are from western bars and saloons and are becoming very collectible.  Anyway, this old one from Goldfield Nevada is at the top of the list as there aren't alot of antique items from old Goldfield, Nevada.  As a matter of fact I am not sure there still is a Goldfield Nevada?  Anyway, a choice antique saloon/drinking establishment relic, check it out!
