a hinge?
Spot on with the thing-o-purpose, but what purpose was that. You could have called it a doofer and been just as near.
No wear on it, it was never used, and that is no drainage hole, you will get an eye opener when you find out what the hole was for.

Sorry Margaret, a gas mask would be no use to you with that thing-o-purpose.
Think more on the lines of what I know a lot about.
I've added another bit of it.

Is it part of a war memorial or gravestone perhaps???
Second photograph could be an engine sump plug, I thought at first sight that it could be the base of a cartridge or shell casing with the primer removed, but then thought it was a casting.
The second photo is a casting but its not a sump plug, the hole in the middle is threaded to take the end of a 4" rod.

Never had a landmine, could do with one or two, then we could surprise some of the members on here. I bet I know who your favourite recipient would be.

The 2 raised rectangular sections on Pic 2 suggest they are for tightening the device down, but threaded for a 4" rod?
If it was 4" BSP thread i would think it was for a fire hydrant connection or similar, think you have got me on this one Retlaw - another clue perhapse - plesae, pretty please with cream and sugar

We didn't have threaded connections to fire hydrants, ours were snap in quick release.
The hole in the middle is threaded 3/16ths Whit, to take a rod 4" long.
The whole object is only 1-1/4" diam, threaded B.S.F.
