Wax Seal Matrix? CW Era Eagle

I think this is a Seal Matrix for imprinting an Eagle into a wax seal on letters. At first I thought it was an impression made in lead of the Reverse of an old coin, but there are no words or other marks I can see. The back is shaped similar to other Matrix I have seen that had a small, round piece of wood inserted in the hole for a handle. I tried it out with some red wax...pretty cool results.

Your thoughts?









 
Mystery solved by a fellow that goes by CC Hunter. What I really have is a Top Cap to a One Pound, Eagle Gunpowder Can circa 1840's. That's still a VERY cool find for me,

Thanks for looking!
