I lightened the picture. Where was it found? Any identifying marks?

 

My brain is telling me we've seen another like this a while back, but darned if I can dredge up what it was.

 

It's an artillery fuze (spelled correctly).

Should this be sitting on my mantle piece lol was giving to me by a friend as I collect a lot of small quirky things would you like some more photos. I have looked on the internet and can’t find anything out about what it is or where it’s from I think it is British as it has English writing on it

 

Thank you sabre 123 can you tel me anything else about it and is it safe main thing as I have kids in the house

 

It's safe. It is just a means to detonate the explosive part of the ordnance

 

maybe you can find a similar one here:

Thanks for you time and information very helpful

 

Wow it looks to be from the USA and I live in Scotland I am definitely keeping this in my small collection

 

I had one a while back that had a translucent green nose cone. It was interesting, but I sold it, as I'm not a collector of military anything.

 

Do they have any value

 

Not a lot. I think I got about $30 USD for mine. The ones sold on eBay seem to reflect the same price range.

 

Would make a cool door knocker no will knock my door again lol

 

Exactly!

 

Nice chatting with you I have lots of antiques as my dad owned an auction house for 40 years and my house is full of small interesting things Is it just military things you at interested in

 

I am interested in a fairly wide variety of antique items, but I don't 'collect' military items at all. I do have an interest in them because I love history.

 

it is a 155 proximity fuze
