Does anyone have thoughts on what this may be? It is a small copper 
alloy object with hollow legs. It is approximately 2 inches in diameter 
and 1 1/2 inches tall. While the exterior appears threaded we do not 
believe it was. We have considered censor, cap for some type of 
mechanism, and even joke about it being a small guacamole pot. We found 
this at a mid 18th-early 20th domestic site in Delaware and one was also 
found on a War of 1812 site (with some 20th century intrusions)  in 
Maryland.
