Part CANADA & Part USA...
Not sure exactly what this is yet but did a bit of research and the company's logo this has was only used until 1907 and the second patent date on the bottom is 1906. The top is "the Canadian rubber co. Montreal" and the bottom half is from "A Shrader & son inc. New York". I found a old ad for Shrader & son and it seems they were makers of old diving suits so it would make sense to need some good ol' Canadian rubber. It's a different find than usual so tell me what you think and if anyone knows exactly what it is. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]
UPDATE: it's a rubber hot water bottle top from around 1906! [emoji106]
