Pls help ID this part
(OP)
Hi all,
Was hoping you could help ID a part, or guess it's design intent to help me choose the right sort of category to search at least.

Please ignore the spring and possibly the bolts - but seeing it as a 2 hole mount, cast iron piece with the word "up" on the side, what would you guess its purpose is? Here is a sketch of what it most likely is without any add-ons:

I might guess it has a dedicated mounting direction due to the 'up' and meant to resist primarily lateral forces. Couldn't think of a lot of applications for that though, and the purpose of the reinforced ring around the top threw me as well.
Thanks for any and all help.

Not seeing anything similar in gas street lamps but it's a big category too - are you thinking this would be a piece that mounts inside the lamp or holds the lamp to a wall?
Sparweb, any guess as to what type of tank?
I would estimate the opening on this part between 5/8ths and 1 inch diameter.

I realize it's a long shot but possible somebody has either seen one or seen one very similar, or at least can guess at the application which would help in identification. The guesses so far have been inspiring if anything. I did see a lot of similarities in the bases of old water pumps, but nothing that explained the wider lip around the top.
SnTMan, the images are screencaps from Mad Max: Fury Road - a group of us over on the RPF are trying to replicate the bird bobble head, and this is its base. For our purpose it could be drawn in CAD or any 3d program and built/machined from scratch, but some people are just bonkers for accuracy... some of you might know what thats like in a real world context! It would be best to find a real one and replicate that.
As far as the inside, you know what I know. As I mentioned I would estimate the opening between 5/8ths and 1 inch, and I wouldn't consider the outside of the flanges to be possibly more than 4 inches.

I didn't notice a [Scarcasim] tag in that post.
But for those who don't know, there actually IS a reverse Google Images search.

I like your style ashleyz! No fluff, to the point, mic drop.
That's the thing. Thank you so much for your help, everyone!
RE: Pls help ID this part
The claws have been cut off flush with the mating face and a stud and nut added obscuring the "MINS" - leaving "UP". Amazing how two little changes could make ID so much more difficult.
Well done ashleyz!
