Another copper/brass piece.

[bbheigle0605]

Well, I tried to do as much research as I could and I'm going nowhere! What is this thing? I've been finding large copper and brass items at a extinct Mississippi River town. This piece has tiny holes punched in a line all the way around it. Thanks again!
