I don't think it is of United States origin. Probably circa WW1.

 

It looks like a smaller version of a 3 inch Russian HE shell that was produced here for the Russians during WW1.

 

I would say the part that unscrews is a fuze adaptor, and it looks like the top of the aforementioned screws off to reveal the threaded fuze well.

 

I can tell you that whatever it is, it is a projectile of the ''fixed'' variety due to the case crimping grove near the base.
