Yeap just looking at it, it was an easy late 19th c guess. (Crown type, two piece, plus brass back)
I had a general idea and love researching my finds but I was so beat from work and hunting that sometimes it's easier to just post stuff and let other people do the solving! Haha
I hope you gave Bill lots of food and water! Haha
I get what you mean & you got a better reply than my easy guess of late 19th C. It was not a stab at anyone, just my observation.
