That's an old "HENRY" shell casing.  Almost looks like 22 cal. so that indicates that it is probably a Winchester bullet made after they bought out Henry Repeating Firearms.    The original HENRY was only made in 44 cal.

Some internet info for you:

Oliver Winchester purchased Henry's company, and the Henry rifle evolved into the brass framed Winchester Model 1866 "Golden Boy" rifle, which was chambered for the same round. Henry remained the chief designer for Winchester Repeating Arms and designed the famous Winchester rifles that "won the West." For over 100 years all Winchester rimfire ammunition was head stamped with an "H" in honor of B. Tyler Henry.
Yes Ron is right on call with this one. Great find !!

I believe the ringed thing is a compression line fitting used for backflow purposes on either air or hydraulic lines. Ron is correct on the Henry Short. That's a keeper.
