Okay, crimped. I think what you found are the fluid dispensers off quik lite lighter fluid. I cannot find an example of the can, however this other brand is a close match. http://cgi.ebay.com/RED-DEVILS-LEAD...in_0?hash=item33552d721b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

garibaldi, I would assume they were for different products as well. I guess on the shore line where garbage was once strewn, the lead is the last non-ferrous to rot away, and also the last non-ferrous metal to be plucked by detectorists over the years. That may be why it seems there are an unusual number of these.

Thanks Garibaldi, but we all help each other along as we stumble through the process of elimination. This was a fun one though and I learned a lot from it.
You know, I was just thinking another reason you found so many of these on the shore line. back in the old days when garbage was dumped at sea most of it would sink, the bottles and cans and things with no lids. These were sealed though, and the lead tops kept them "bottoms up' holding air, and I guess far more of them made their way back to shore before their cans rusted away.

Very nice Bigcy.
[/quote]rush here I think they are of old army feild gun oilling cans i have seen them on the cans I think .
[/quote]
Makes sence. I found them in an area that has a history of American Revolution, then War of 1812, then civil war trainning. So I'm sure there were army feild guns at one point there. I would like to see an image.
