Threaded Cap

Hello Forum,

I found this threaded metal cap in a wooded area where I've found several items from the late 1800's. Can anyone identify it? Thanks for looking!

Possibly from a bottle? I know I've found my fair share of metal caps that were rusted shut on some of the bottles I've found in my little bottle dump, but I'm no expert.

It's very small though. I will try to clean it up a bit more.

Bottles can get very small. Take this one for instance.

But yes, I'm no expert on anything, haha. Hope someone comes along and can help you figure it out though!

Tire valve stem cap seems like another possibility.

Looks like many things, from an AC unit, floor mounted dimmer switch, the old cardboard fuses had a metal cap.
