I was doing laundry last night and when transferring the clothes to the dryer, I noticed the bottom of the washer was full of pull tabs and a few rusty pennies! I must have forgot to empty my pockets from my last hunt haha!
 
Ron, I was looking at the strainer again, and due to the distance between the flange of the strainer, and the nut on the bottom side, I'd guess it came from an old concrete utility/mop sink. It's hard to judge the size of the pipe-size coming off of it (1-1.25"?) but it probably wasn't large enough for a shower drain. Whatever it was had been re-plumbed at some point, since it was adapted to sweat-copper piping.

It's not impossible someone adapted it to use on the end of a trash pump hose, but doubtful they'd use such an old conglomeration of fittings.

The old concrete sinks were common in older construction (especially in basements), so it may be a hint there was an older home nearby at some point, unless it rode-in on a truck-load of fill dirt. I'd re-hunt the site sometime, especially considering some of your other finds there .
