Ornately decorated piece of metal - at first I thought it was maybe an old lighter - but three holes on the bottom are curious. Hollow, consistent wall thickness - any ideas?

Awesome ID!
I looked online to see if there were any other photo examples - can't find anything else like it - any idea of an age range based on the design?
