If it had holes punched in the top, it was to keep the instrument hydrated in the case. Otherwise, it was undoubtedly attached to the stand stalk and used to keep reeds wet. The standard water holder used to be an empty 35 mm. film container, which held the right amount. Alas, with the death of film, you can't get them anymore except maybe in junk shops.

Maybe they still use 35 mm. film in Cuba, like 1950s cars. ;)
