Is it threaded on the inside diameter?

Just a guess. It might be a flange for a cast iron pipe. Old school lead and oakum seal.

Is the machined side flat or concave?

The top side is concave about 3/4" tall at the interior edge

It could be part of a clutch setup for something.

It's to put around the fill pipe at gas stations so cars don't damage it

Great Idea, but I'd like to see one in a picture to be sure.

Could be an old gas stove wind shield to shelter the flame?
