A question among my March 22nd Relic Finds

[ClayDigger]

I am at an old site last night and among some easily identifiable objects (broken spur, belt buckle, part of a horse bridle, some hexagonal vial thing, a rusty round token of some kind, a few lead pieces, nails) Then I get this soft deep whisper and at 8" out comes this item that looks like some kind of cap to a canteen, bottle or something (bottom photos). Anyone have an idea of what this cap went to and an idea of it's age? The bottom of it flips open and you can see threads inside the neck of it.

I've been told that the "hexagonal vial thing" is an antique tire valve stem cover. Might be from a model T, but maybe not quite that early. Should have small threading on the inside of the neck.

I've been told that the "hexangonal vial thing" is an antique tire valve stem cover. Might be from a model T, but maybe not quite that early. Should have small threading on the inside of the neck.

Agreed

Lostcauses,
Looks like you nailed it. Thanks for the reference photo, it sure looks similar to some of the other ones from the photo.
Happy Hunting,

CannonballGuy,
There are fine threads just inside so you must be right.
Thanks for your help,
