Howdy to all!

I recovered this piece on 12.15.2019 in Lamar County, Mississippi and I am hoping that some of y'all can help me to identify it and maybe even post a picture of a complete one. The Penny in the pic is for size reference only.

I wonder why they cut it up? Is it silver? Doesn't make a lot of sense but what does I suppose.

Good question, that I can't answer, and I do wish it was silver, as it's got to weigh almost a 1/2 pound, and I am not sure of what it is made out of...

Pass it under the V3i, take a picture of the screen, and post it. That should help us ID what it is made of.

OK, I now know the company, though I cannot find this exact piece, they have a variety of lids over the years that are almost 100% matches and the Company is KC Baking Powder.

This is a picture of one of their lids.

I don't think you will find. Tins for baking powder and flour are just that, tin. Your piece looks diecast. Could have been more an advertisement piece for a general store.
