Is it internally threaded?

Shotgun shell was my first thought also

Is it internally threaded?

I don't think it is but then again it could be I don't know it's really old so it's hard to tell creskol but here's a few more pics of the inside let me see what you think

for me it is a textile instrument but i cannot find the english name we call it "fusaiola" (italian).

it is a little round weight that you use to make yarns from wool. look at the picture. I think it acts as flywheel when you turn the spool.

The opposing notches are for a spanner wrench , that's all I've got for now .

maybe from a grenade ?

Whorl, don't think it's one of those.
Usually made of lead, with a single hole.

That's my thought behind the question if it was threaded or not.

My first thought was part of a brass sprinkler head.
