Pewter bottle top found in revolutionary war site......need help to ID the bottle or type.

Dogfisch · Oct 24, 2017

I found a couple of these threaded pewter bottle tops in the location of a revolutionary camp site once occupied by the British. The 2 caps are both threaded but the thread is very corse. I at first the cap went to a metal flask of some type until I found one with the glass still there. Anyone recognize the cap style? Any ideas?

Not familiar with that cap. I would guess some type of flask or water bottle/canteen but being a screwtop it most likely is after 1900.

Are you sure that's not lead?

no I'm not positive what it is made out of, I assumed it was pewter, but it could be lead.
