Rare George III Commemorative Button and Mystery Relics

[Lost Signal]

Same site where I found the countermarked coin the other day. Found a small 1/2" button/cufflink that I thought was plain. When I brushed it off it had a very detailed design. The closest thing that I can find online (screenshot below) is in a PDF published by The 18th Century Material Culture Center. It says it was possibly made to commemorate the marriage of George III to Charlotte in 1761. The text "Fide Et Amore" means something like "by fidelity and love." I can't see two hearts on mine, so I don't know if they are just worn down or what exactly is going on in the center part.

If you have any ideas about the little lid-thing, please share.

Thanks!

Your "cap" item is from a Betty whale oil lamp. Filler cap.

IMO of course.

Thanks, AARC. I think that could definitely be it. I looked at other examples and there are many that closely match the look of my piece. I'm calling that one "solved."
