Posted this before a few years back....Thought some may have seen something like it over the years in their research......It's brass/bronze --- about the size of a silver dollar or 8 reale....Some type of die is my guessThanks for looking

I got it !!!!!!!!! it was just a old PeeDee motifs symbols for gold.....Native gold stamp!

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

Gunpowder keg cap??

I've seen some in the same general size and shape...and some tend to be brass as well....

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.
