Not sure what this is??

I'm not exactly sure what this is. I found it on one of my metal detection hunt. if anybody has any idea I would love to know.

 

How big is it? Heavy like iron? Anything on the other side?


It seems like the logo to a company...C.I. or I.C. but the other questions still need to be answered to really help.

 

Could the I be meant for railroad tracks?

 

It is approximately an inch and a half it is definitely like a of cast iron metal material. It is heavy weighing 0.15oz. That's what I thought the logo was C I maybe or C C I.

 

Or the I maybe a ladder also

 

It's the same logo on each side

 

I was thinking the smaller C&O were for Co. It does look like an older ladder. Maybe some kind of pin to secure something? Like a lynch pin type of fastener?

 

Looks like a stopper for something.

Agree. Best guess CI Co. & a pin that was put in & taken out regularly as part of its function.

 

This is what I really think it looks like...maybe the silicone/rubber just disintegrated?

But not knowing the circumference....that could be a fluke.

Oh, you said 1.5"? Then, we can probably forget that theory.

 

This might help a little

 

Looks like either IC Co or CI Co and either a ladder or a railway line.

 

old oil refinery tower ? or old antenna mast ?

 

Oil well derrick rather than "refinery" I'd think.

 

That's a newer design.
Looks like this is made from cast iron, so doubt it would be for a bottle.
Like Bronwen said more like a pin than a stopper. (I sometimes use the wrong words - sorry. You need to double check me)

 

I think I may know how it was used though not what company or exact product you have.

Quite some time ago I got an old tear-catcher/lachrymatory/perfume bottle with a replacement metal stopper. I think that what I have is probably what you have.

Mine says Dennison's Paste/Adhesives and from what I found was the stopper end of a tube. Mine is metal that appears to have been silvered at one time and measures exactly 1½" in length.

What I have, not it's original stopper but still works.

 

Oh wait, I think I found yours. Carter's Mucilage/Paste cap.

@say_it_slowly -

It sometimes takes an entire village to ID one simple object.

 

I imagine 100 years ago everyone would have known what it was.
