Thought it was a bullet...

[teverly]

Any help would be appreciated..Found this a couple weeks ago in an old lot...
Shaped like a bullet but has a notch/hole on one side.....
On the bottom in the middle it says patented june 1975,above that on the bottom it says Williamson co. and around the bottom it says Newark N.J.

Is it off a key chain??

What's the bottom of it look like? Monty

Monty the bottom is just flat with the writing on it...
I dont think it came off a key chain,but it is possible.The bottom part is brass or copper and the tip looks like some kind of plated metal.

Are you sure on that date ? There might be a corkscrew inside . Unscrews by the notch . It is very similar to this one :
