Guinness Bottle. Can anyone give me any history and value of this bottle, I have been all over the Internet and not found a thing.

Cap rusted on bottle - clean or not clean?

I'm not a bottle collector, but I think the cap is neat. If you have a couple, I'd leave one on.

Help Identifying Clay Bottle Closure

Hello, While on vacation, I found this in Lake Ontario on the Canadian side where the water had eroded the bank. (In or around Niagara-on-the-Lake.) It appears to be a clay stopper of some sort. It's 2" in diameter with a 3/4" threaded hole. There's still amber glass in the threads. Any...
