I've seen these before and they are old Jug Toppers. The link below was a similar find of this type.

✅ SOLVED - Found this awesome piece today walking the creeks. Never seen a piece like it.

Hey guys. Its been a long time since I have been on Tnet but I need help from some experts out there. I was doing some arrowhead hunting today in a creek here in WV where I have found many points over the years. It was freezing cold and things weren't going all that well. I had only found some...

When I was young in the 50's those came as plugs on 10 gal glass jugs of sulfuric acid.
My Dad and Grandfather were tin smiths and used the acid for soldering galvanized sheets of metal and galvanized gutters. I have installed many galvanized gutter before there were aluminum gutters. The soldering irons were heated up in the field in a home made charcoal oven. They had to use real charcoal - not the pressed bricks they sell today. The real Charcoal burned hotter. One the brass iron was red hot they would clean the tip on a rosin block and then dip it in a glass cup of the acid. solder would be "wet" on the tip. The the acid was brushed on the galvanized metal where you wanted to solder a joint together.

I used to unplug the jug and replenish the smaller containers. The top cross was for wiring the plug in place for shipping.
