Another Whazit from 1880's Back Yard

Hello All. I found this at a late 1880's home site, so deep that I almost gave up on it thinking it to be a deep pipe or beer can.

It is not magnetic, concave in shape, and is 2.5-IN across. Don't know how to research this so any feedback is welcome.

Thanks and may the finds be with you. C9

Cool find. Ought to be some old bike collectors out there who are looking for the top cover for that assembly.
