Button,rivet,snap,or none of the above?

Not sure what this is from, but was hoping someone might know what the letters on the front stand for.

Hard to say without seeing the back.

If I had to guess I would say it is a button off coveralls or some kind of work clothing.

It looks like a cap for ointmemt tube but need to see the back. LPCo? There are a lot of Power and Light Companies with similar logos but I dont see a match yet.

 

[Bbchevelle]

Sorry 'bout that. The back is hollow like a snap and the metal is not magnetic.

By chance is it lead??
It strongly resembles a Powder can top,but I cant recall an iron one?

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

I think its a cap. Any threads by chance? <looking for my ruler> looks like a small ointment cap if your ruler is in 1/32nds of an inch.

The item is a lead or similar alloy cap to a tube for paste type material. The original lead tube would have looked very similar to our current toothpaste tubes.
There were different products sold in these lead type tubes, during the late 19th and early 20th century. Artists paints, maybe ointments or similar, and even possibly some food products.

Thats 3 votes for ointment.

I believe the cap is from the Lambert Pharmecuetical Company. The same company that brought us Listerine.

Check this out. I didnt know they made eucalyptus flavored Listerine cigarettes. Notice the logo. http://goodhealth.freeservers.com/MentholCigGrowth.htm

I also found this. "...we found a clear bottle with Listerine toward the top of the bottle and Lambert Pharmacal Co. toward the bottom of the bottle. It has a screw on lid with the letters LPCo in fancy script on the top of the lid." Sounds like GTI2000's cap.


enough for a green check?

Great job Big Cy!

Here is an example of the same style of cap:

Big Cypress Hunter has pinpointed the company.

The particular cap would though, be from a tube rather than a bottle.
