Erin:
Rotate the image 90 degrees to the right and you will see that it is the
Colgate and Company logo. Much of the larger, encircling "C" is gone, but
it can still be discerned.
As Robin suggested, it is likely a toothpaste cap.
Best,
Michelle

Subject: artifact identification/maker's mark
Hello listeros,
I am hoping someone might be able to identify the artifact in the attached
photos.
It is a small octagonal-shaped threaded screw cap. The metal appears to be
possibly lead or aluminum. I am hoping someone recognizes the maker's mark.
One theory is that it is Asian. No bottle remains this size were located.
The artifact is from a homestead site in southern New Mexico. The rest of
the assemblage suggests 1920s-1940s. It was not collected and I have not
personally visited the site.
Photos of the front and back of the cap can be viewed at this link (it is a
photo album within Google+):
