Found this in the dirt with some older items that appear to be from the late 1800's - early 1900's, little glass medicine type bottles and a piece of purple glass the looks like it could be a part of a bowl or something.

Looks to me like an old fuse end cap. Similar to one of these fuses
Whats the outer diameter of the circular end? And the inner diameter for the little hole in the middle?
Just from eyeing it, looks to be about 30mm and 5mm.
