Aerial Bomb Propeller Fuze - What is it?

Hello All,
I am new to BOCN. I recently found what I believe is some sort of tail or nose fuze for an aerial bomb. I found it in a box of mixed ordnance at a flea market, the stuff in the box that I recognized dated anywhere from WWI to the 1970, which only made me more interested to find out what this thing is. Can anyone please tell me what it is and what it might be worth. It is marked "T27 E4 GTI" Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Appears to be a nose fuse.

T27 E4 would be a 4th generation experimental fuze under the old marking system. I've seen a similar fuze but I can't remember where just yet.
