I have no clue other than it has some initial on it, and it is very thing material, almost like aluminum or tin.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Sorry, quarter didn't show next to it. It is about 2.5 inches in both directions. Very thing and very flexible.

It looks like whats left of an aluminum bottle cap, seal or cork top covering. There is an E P & Co Ale. http://www.geocities.com/sendtoaustralia/openers/eh.html ...but being thin, its probably a wine or champagne cork top covering.

Following BigCy's lead
It's potentially from the Eldridge Pope brewing company.

At that size ,could be a promotional item, small ashtray? Could it be the cover for a barrel bung?

Hm...having a hart time seeing this as an ashtray, it is more like a cap from soemthing....i bent the metal back to as close to the shape as I could. Looks kinda like this.

After seeing the latest pics it appears to be a screw cap to a wide mouth bottle or container.

Yea, sure seems to be.....just wondering to what, especially w/the nice little lettering on top. May just remain a mystery...but I like those too!

Like some type of face cream jar, I discounted a mans product based on the fancy scroll.
