I took a couple more pictures, but I’m not sure they help much. I also cleaned out the inside to see if there is a "parting" line there that I couldn’t see on the outside. I did find it but it didn’t come through on the face. Probably due to age and rust and other crud.
I also found what looks like another rivet, by the arrow. As you can see, this one is a little bit below the surface.
The third picture shows a small gap that appears to be where the two pieces come together and I can see it on the inside, but nothing on the outside.
Collford, maybe you could post pictures of yours and see if it makes more sense than mine. Also, does it say "patent pending" or does yours have a number or a date?
