    Is it threaded inside underneath?
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    Some kind of flange if it doesn't have threads inside, perhaps for an early toilet? Now the flanges are all made of wax or vinyl plastic. But I think most of the toilet flanges were made of lead, so Monty

    Aha! With no threads, Im thinking possibly babbit metal bearing. ...just a wild guess.
    Is it scored on the inside? Can we see a good clear pic of the bottom? Use good lighting, watch the shadows and use your macro setting.
