<p>[QUOTE="PavloK, post: 13010148, member: 110549"]You need to measure the diameter. Then compare it with the diameter of shells from that era (what time period is it dating to, roughly?). Although the time may not be that important. Shell diameters don't vary much. If the diameters match, that increases the chances that the box is made from a shell casing. In my area, there are a lot of cigarette butt bins made from shell casings these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
