I ran across two of these fuzes, they are pictured with an M557. They are ( steel) magnetic, screw into my projectiles, but have no markings on them what so ever. Quite a bit of machining, in addition to the securing coarse thread, notice the fine threads on the inside of the fuze. What are they used for?

Fuze ID needed. Dummies?

These are fuzes for projectiles, not bombs.
Found some more, these have markings. The one dated 12-44 is marked " Fuze Nose CP T105 .05 Sec", the ones dated 2-45 marked " Fuze, CP M78 .025 Sec". From a forum search, I take it the " T" number was a testing or prototype before it became standardized as an M78? ....in any case, the man with the bucket full is only selling them as he needs to. For us ordnance collectors, what would " fair market value" be?...or are they only worth what one is willing to pay? ( no established price). I have to go through a relative to make contact with the seller, my only interest would be to buy/ resell to fund more ordnance purchases.
