Well it certainly isn't made from native gold. Native gold is usually 80% gold or better and doesn't corrode at all. I believe Gator is closer, the gas filler caps on modern boats are very similar although a bit larger in diameter. The caps you show are from drums, yours is from something smaller.

Relicdude didn't say it was gold. He said it was a gold stamp. However, thank you for your insight.

I know after my response he told me to eat a plate of excrement... Sometimes people just want their find to be something extraordinary

Assuming the narrow shank isn't threaded, it could be a barrel/container bung of some kind but I think the old-old ones were almost always made out of wood.
