I am pretty sure it is a whatchamacallit!

Maybe a regulator like on your water line I have never seen any like this but some thats similar
Does the hole in the middle have threads??

 

[TheDiggerBoy91]

nope....just a plain hole...

Looks like a piece of a light fixture. Are the tabs on the bottom part brass or copper? Hole in side could have been for pullchain.

Oh man, I ain't even gonna guess. Looks like a nice one though!!!

 

[wvhillbilly]

huh maybe not a regular than hard to tell

 

[nipsy]

could it be a well pump

This may not be what it was but it's what it could be now. It's the same idea as below but had an actual lamp base.
It's now a lamp fixture for a bottle. The bottom pushes into the mouth and the wire goes through the hole and out the thread. It looks like standard 3/8 lamp thread and any switch should fit.

Don't mind my artwork, OK
