It looks like it is a threaded brass cap to a fitting or tank, with the
flanges used to hand-tighten the cap.

Subject: Unknown Copper Object
Does anyone have thoughts on what this may be? It is a small copper alloy
object with hollow legs. It is approximately 2 inches in diameter and 1 1/2
inches tall. While the exterior appears threaded we do not believe it was.
We have considered censor, cap for some type of mechanism, and even joke
about it being a small guacamole pot. We found this at a mid 18th-early 20th
domestic site in Delaware and one was also found on a War of 1812 site (with
some 20th century intrusions) in Maryland.
