✅ SOLVED Is it a lid?

[Hunk-a-lead]

Dug at a 1920s permission. Looks vaguely familiar. I think its copper but not sure. Thanks in advance for any help on the ID!!

Looks very familiar to me as well but I can't think of anything other than flour/sugar/coffee decanter/storage tin type thing.

It's got a pattern on it. Looks like a lid

barbers comb jar top?

Doorbell. I think I still have the same one on my 1935 house, but it hasn't worked in many years!

A photo of the other side might help ID it, or at least help rule out what it isn't.

I got home after posting on this thread and looked at my old tea pot up on top of the fridge and thought it could be that or a coffee pot top as well.

Reminds me of the top half of a bicycle bell.

I agree on the teapot lid ! Copper is the give-a-way !

Better pic. Not a doorbell, since the middle piece is stationary.
