Yep that's the one.

Mine has 2 diametrically opposed holes in the rear (from manufacturing). I guess they were made in many different locations.

Thoughts on what this is?

Found adjacent an early 1900s mental hospital.

I'm thinking a screw cap to a hot water bottle or canvas water bag.

It's non ferrous. So brass or some alloy.
