Hi Viriginia Digger,

Very difficult to date an object like that, I think you'd have to look at the material around it. being a crown cap opener, that puts it post 1892, but take up was slow until the the early 1900's, so openers were rare also.

Is there any hint on it that it was made in Europe, judging from the design? Is it possible this was a souvenier brought back from Italy by a G.I. ?
