Any ideas what this is from?

I'm confused. The picture labels "hole" and "hollow", but it looks solid to me. Has it been filled? Or am I seeing things?
What are labeled as hole and hollow are just that. Nothing has been filled in or plugged.

Good info about the old time Taps, Spigots and Faucets can be found here.
Including a great patent scan from an 1890 "faucet" by John Sommer, Jr. From the John Sommer Faucet Company. showing a cutaway diagram of a wood "faucet".
