The thermite reaction forms molten iron, which runs out of the hole in the bottom. Possibly used to weld railroad tracks together. It is a specialized sort of crucible for thermite welding.

There is a Durbin, west Virginia and I think they are pretty famous for their old locomotives. So it might be a piece on an old locomotive, but I have no idea where it would go or what purpose it would serve. Maybe someone else does. Incidently, can anyone make out all the letters on the other side? S T L (something) K O ? or maybe the K is an R or an &. I cant really make out the letter before if there is one.

The screws on the sides are for securing it to a wooden handle. There's a hole on the bottom you can't see (go to the link for more pix) -- this hole is actually on the end that faces up and it is where the combustible wad is inserted for burning.
