Any ideas

 

[GB1]

A shaker top of some sort

 

[DCMatt]

Half of a tea ball/infuser.

Or quite possibly an early prototype for a hockey player's cup protector. Looks like the puck found it's mark! Sorry, got cabin fever up here!

The mind does wander!

To sprinkle water on clothes before ironing. I think?

Pizza restaurants have large shaker tops for parmesan cheese or pepper seeds.But I like duggap's suggestion of a water shaker for ironing clothes.I think the determining factor is the size of the holes in it laundry sprinklers had small holes like a shower head and salt and pepper shakers were small also.So I think it was for larger items to be shook from it.

It has holes along the edges so I don't think its a lid of some sort...

EDIT: as in a shaker lid...

Does kinda look like an old tea ball?

 

[Peyton Manning]

Back side of an old bicycle bell?

Salt shaker lid

If the other side was something that looked like it would fit in a soda bottle,, then I agree with this reply.

[Joe-Dirt]

I think DCMatt nailed it

 

[A2coins]

Didn't see the coin reference its a lid for like a parmeson shaker or oregano shaker like at a pizza place.

The holes are too big for a tea ball. With holes around the edge, I would say it was on the end of a hose that was used in pumping water from a stream or lake for irrigation. I am unable to post pictures, but maybe someone could do it for me.

 

[mmocha2905]

it only has holes along the sides

 

[lairmo]

it only has holes along the sides

it has holes along the EDGE...as well. Zoom in.

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

After looking at it zoomed in as lairmo said it does have holes in the side and no threads to screw it on as a shaker lid. I changed my way of thinking and believe it is an old sink strainer and we are looking at the bottom of it.

 

[namxat]

If the size would fit,

I would indentify as pipe lid.
