Logo ID

[pine3874]

Found this at an old mill site. It is about this size of a thimble and ID's in the zinc range. Would be interested in finding out whose logo is stamped on it and what it was used for. Thanks

My guess is a cap to a lipstick tube,.don't know about the logo.

Is the small hole threaded and is the wide opening threaded? If neither, it could be a vent cap(steam vent or oil can vent) or vented oiler cap. The small hole could be for a chain to prevent losing the cap and keep it tethered to the item.

It could be a chatelaine, other names are needle case or sewing kit case. Some are fancy, some not. Many slip together without threads similar to lipstick cases but they commonly have a hole like your piece.

Neither end is threaded. Thanks

It also reminds me of an old vehicle light bulb.

Kinda reminds me of the end of an old fuse.

I am pretty sure that is an old Avon logo , so it may be from a lipstick tube.
