Seems I should know what this is???

I know what a Mercury dime looks like

But the shape of this thing sure looks familiar
Reminds me of old loud speakers
Made of brass, only hole is in the bottom, not on the end of the horns??
Now writing at all, found at an old home site, circa 1910
Maybe I'll just have to try and open it up, it could a miniature time capsule

Valve top. Gas or water line or container.
