I'll start off by saying that I hope nobody here purchased this part:
What was sold is an RC-15 cap, sure enough. But, it's a Service Replacement. This cap was NEVER installed on anything 1972 or earlier (i.e. on any car worth spending this much) in a stainless steel, small ear configuration. Yet, 2 people thought it was worth far, far more than it should be. In fact, this same version and configuration of the RC-15 was being sold up until the very end! That's right - you could buy one essentially just like this for $5 until the RC-15 was discontinued 2 or 3 years ago.
So now someone has again spent way too much money on a totally incorrect part. Totally functional, but totally incorrect. FYI, most RC-15 caps in this configuration sell for about $20, maybe slightly higher to $30. I'm not sure what about this auction turned on these two bidders, but...
