Help with us small brass embossed whatsit...

[bbheigle0605]

While digging up old 1860's-early 1900's bottles, I came across this odd thingy. I looked up the initials and I did come across a bottle company but couldn't figure out what this was used for. If anyone has any info, please help me! Thank you sooooo much in advance
