Here is another star shell casing that I got that same day in St. Louis with the other star shell casing and the practice bazooka rocket. This one I am almost certain is not military but should get an award for the most writing i've ever seen on a casing. It is made of aluminum, 7 1/8th inches long and 35 - 37mm diameter. Here is the writing
HEADSTAMP - INTERNATIONAL FLARE SIGNAL DIV. U.S.A. PAT 1.957.834 WESTERVILLE OHIO U.S.A. SEPT 60
STAMPED ON SIDE - KILGORE INC. INTERNATIONAL FLARE SIGNAL DIV WESTERVILLE OHIO SEPT 1960

I said it should get an award for the most words on a casing!!!
