Cool on getting out. :icon_thumright:

Thats what I love about this hobby, one day its zinc pennies and nails, next its gold jewelry and silver coins.

Sorry, I can't help with your metal object. Try posting in "What Is it?"

It looks like the top of a gas bottle. Not for sure. Is it threaded inside.

looks like the valve cover from a gas cylinder, like nitrogen or welding gas

rennie - You have to post this in the "What Is It forum". It'll drive them nuts or they'll figure it out. :icon_scratch:

Can you post a pic with it next to a ruler to show scale or post dimensions?

inside looks like the inside of an automotive distributor cap! you have the center contact from the coil and the surrounding contact points for each cylinder for the rotor!

It look like the head of Iron Man! Lol. good hunt

I put it on what is it, and after looking at it closer and with the help of what is it. We have decided that it is a distributer cap of some kind. I have it soaking in water to see if I can get it to come apart. IMO it should come apart, I do not know how they would get the wires in on the side..
