It's an old stovebolt draft tube with the long (dented) outlet tube cut off then crimped for a grommet, with a Standard V237 valve. Might look neater to drill a hole in top of the canister portion and cut the outlet tube flush (and cap it). Or ditch the the draft tube altogether, put an expansion plug directly in the block, then drill it for a grommet and hope it doesn't make a big mess, as there's only a thin little plate to deflect crankcase oil at that point.
