Fuze plug?

[Andysarmoury]

Hi i was given these two today i can only think they could be fuze plugs of some kind, the threads are about 1 3/4 dia and 1 1/4 high can anybody shed any light on them please

Me too

I would be interested as well, I have about 15 of these and no idea what they are??

They initially reminded me of the shipping plugs used for the 40mm bofors, but your ones appear to be larger diameter ~50mm and slightly different from the bofors ones (see pics).

The other interesting point is that they do not have a base, so I don't think they were used as "shipping plugs".

BTW - It is bad enough when you have one item that you can't ID, but when you "multiple of".............Aaaaaarrrggggggg!!!
