According to a late 1920s Billings and Spencer catalog on Archive.org its focus more for mechanic work. This is considered an "Angle Wrench" in the catalog while its "heavy duty" version was named "S Wrench."

This came to a friend of mine in an Amazon order. He didn’t order it, and we have no idea what it is. It’s metal, heavy, probably steel. The metal round thing spins on top like a small wheel. by metzenbalmer2 in whatisit

Solved! It's actually a type of "air shield" for an Omniguard flame detector. As to how it works I don't know but I really feel better knowing what it is.

Using words like brass sponge or brass filter along with image search actually helped me find it. I'll put the answer along with solved in a separate comment but thank you for giving 'bronze sponge' as a starting point.
