Cap to what?

[verbious]

I found this on Sunday. It's a cap with a hinge on one side. Made of copper or brass.

Any idea?

Probably from a makeup case. I have found several like it

Neat little cap

Old compass? (Military and engineers had a sight wire in the center).

Half a pill box or maybe a candy tin.

Like Patriots guess I think he hit it! The squared edges and being brass is a good tell too.

I was thinking like a rouge case. Similar to these.... https://www.google.com/search?q=vin...wPvSAhWMPCYKHcn5B24Q_AUICCgD&biw=1095&bih=723

That's cool! Thanks for all your responses! There is no detail left that I can see. It was about 8 inches down in field that was farmed on property that was established in the mid 1800s.
