I got this a year or two ago (Yes, at a yard sale. Yes, I overpaid... $3). I thought it was really cool and I couldn't believe they only asked three dollars for it. I thought about listing it on e-bay, but it looked like I could only expect $50 or so and I thought it was at least that cool to keep...

That's a beautiful piece. My grandfather was a howitzer gunner in ww2, so I guess that's where I get it from. Look at the head stamp of that shell, it should have a date stamped on it.
