Found this in the dirt with some older items that appear to be from the late 1800's - early 1900's, little glass medicine type bottles and a piece of purple glass the looks like it could be a part of a bowl or something.

Are the edges rubber? Looks like a piston from a bike pump.
Some kind of metal, brass or something else. The whole bottom side seems to be of a similar material.
