Would anyone know what this is? There is some lettering and I can make out "New York" and "& Sons". I'm nervous about bending the brass base to see what it says.
Thanks,
The owner of the farm stated he was buying compost for this field so he has no idea what could be found there or if it even would be connected to the property.
I'll third that opinion - end cap on a squeeze tube. Not likely to be valuable money wise, so feel free to gently pry it apart to see if theres any further details to be seen
