Part of a bottle stopper for cologne or perfume bottle.

I think it is the stopper for an old glue tube, similar to the one shown here:

Here is another. Not all had the spreader on them. This one is still stuck in the metal tube top.

I knew I saw one of these a short while back....a 2020 post here on t net. Creskol made the ID. Here is a pic of that one.

Good ID Creskol.

Might the lettering be for the Carter Ink Company (CICo)? Among their stationery product range, I know they also had at least one glue, originally sold as "Carter's Mucilage".

Thank you so much for identifying this!! I wasn't sure because in the past I had found only the round piece of the Lepages brand one on your first picture.

I don't know. I was just throwing it out there as a possibility, given the initials, but haven't Googled to see if there was a matching Carter's product.
