Thinking maybe the End Cap off of something.........

 

[Mark1985]

It's 3 inches across the top and 2-1/2 inches at the bottom

Snuff jar lid? This one is 2 inches across.

Any picture of the bottom of that lid ? Mine seems to slowly cone downward 1/2 an inch also would they have a corks in them if it is what it is doesn't seem like it would seal well ?

It could have been used on a buggy wheel hub cap, just a guess.

 

[Mark1985]

Dono about being a hubcap really want to know what it is >.<

 

[NOLA_Ken]

Powder horn cap maybe?

 

[Breezie]

Since the diameter is 3 inches and the horse is highly decorative, I think it's the lid to a vintage brass trinket/jewelry box. Neat find Breezie

 

[Mark1985]

No chance any canteens had tops like this is there?sadly I have dug many parts of a plow distroyed bullseye canteen close to it

 

[creskol]

Wonder if it could be the cap to a map tube of some sort?

 

[Mark1985]

The map tube idea got me thinking I am wondering if anyone thinks this could be a field telescope lense cover have seen some plane brass. Responses would be greatly appreciated !

 

[Mark1985]

Gah this ones killing me dieing to know what it is still stick on the field scope lens cover idea
