I'm not saying you are wrong, but would not the punch break the bottle?

1899,
That is a nice stamp and I can see the silk fibers in it. I know very little about private proprietary stamps. If I had to take a swag at the answer to the question you asked. Given the age of your stamp and the massive expense for the tooling required to make a die to cut a stamp like the one you are sharing with all of us. I have to say that it was cut with scissors using a plastic or aluminum overlay by an office worker for the company that it was designed for.
Somehow I think that you know the answer already and we are waiting for you to share the knowledge with us.

Was probably a very simple hand punch. They needed thousands of these not millions.

1899,
What a smart Alec!!!
I knew you had the answer then whole time. I would love to see a die specific to that purpose. I do have one for you. Does your book list information that would correlate directly to this topic for the stamps RS9 and the like?

RS9 and the like also used the Steel Die.
What is missing is how many stamps (or maybe just one at a time) was set to the steel die? I think (my guess) they were on the flat surface.
One of the posters said they were punched when on the bottle (I disagree).
An other poster said a plastic cap was used (plastic had not be invented yet).

If I'm "one of the posters" I never said punched while on the bottle .. go read it again.

My mistake, maybe I misread your posting, you said "It's a punch. secured over the top of a medicine bottle."

These were also cut with a metal die. They were also embossed by a process that was similar to the embossing of the postage stamp indicia on many items of postal stationery.
