Farm field find......but what is it?

[HighVDI]

Hello, I found this today in an old farm field.

It was the depth of my garrett pointer. Just wondering if anyone might be able to ID it?

At first I thought silver but it almost looks like stainless. Thanks for any help everyone!

Without seeing the obverse, looks like an old drawer pull.

Can you make out the lettering on it?

SNM is legible. Looks the the fleur-de-lis symbol too.

It looks like silver over pewter. I am not real sure what it is, but I don't think its a drawer pull. I'm thinking more on the line of table necessities like the base to a salt shaker, etc. I ran across the mention of a set of "Salt Pepper Shakers Cloisonné Fish Marked 925 SNM" so maybe SNM is a silver mark or makers mark.

Kinda looks like the top portion of a squeeze tube....like toothpaste or glue.

I would say you have a Hair Tonic top.
I'm sorry, but I can't tell you what the SNM stands for.

It's also like that used on crown top perfume bottle... I was unaware that hair tonic used them too... good to know.
