National Geographic Society thing? Please help with ID

Trying to figure out what the heck this is and can't find anything about it. Any ideas?

It looks like a watch fob.

I thought that, but I cannot find one online when I try searching for it.

It looks like a Lift Off bottle cap to me. This IS a bottle collectors site,,,,,,, Right? []

I emailed the National Geographic Society. Hopefully they'll get back to me with what it is.

It does look like that, but that's not it exactly...I still have not been able to figure out what it is, and I have not found another thing like it with the 2 hinges at the top...

I believe yours hung from a ribbon or maybe a strip of leather. Julie
