March 22nd Finds in West TN

I am at an old site last night and among some easily identifiable objects (broken spur, belt buckle, part of a horse bridle, some hexagonal vial thing, a rusty round token of some kind, a few lead pieces, nails) Then I get this soft deep whisper and at 8" out comes this item that looks like some kind of cap to a canteen, bottle or something (bottom photos). Anyone have an idea of what this cap went to and an idea of it's age? The bottom of it flips open and you can see threads inside the neck of it.

Iron Man,
I received a link to some similar pictures of old car Thermostats and that seems to be what it is. As for the hex shaped vial to the left of the buckle, I learned that it is an old valve stem cover for a car tire.

Thanks for responding and Happy Hunting,
WestTn
