Help me identify this item
I went to a rummage sale last Saturday, a small town museum selling out. Paid a few bucks for this cast iron housing but what is it? Measures 9 1/2" across.

Perhaps a mount for a landscape or building decorative spotlight, missing the crystal, of course. Should be a hole for the electrical feed, maybe by the mounting bolt.

Looks like some sort of fill spout cover.

Like on a big tank of something.

The small round hole on top doesn't run to the inside. Only part that does would be along side the mounting bolt on the bottom.

Looks like one of the lights off the Sorcerer truck.

My guess would be a gauge housing.

My guess is a railroad switch signal housing.

I thought maybe it might be railroad related, there was a lot of other railroad items there.
