From the Cyrillic in the date stamp ("ноя" standing for "ноябрь", "November") I'd say this was found in Russia or Ukraine.
In any case, the fuze is indeed a Russian T-3, so I assume this is a WW1 vintage US-produced (Bethlehem Steel Company) 3-inch shrapnel for the Putilov 1902 used with a different fuze during WW2.
Interesting piece in any case, because, from what little I know, the T-3 fuze is quite rare, being immediately superseded by the Т3 (УГ), the T-5 and T-6.
Found on a forum in cyrillic.
I can't see the fuze adapter, common on 3in russian shrapnel shells.
Could be an HE shell for AA. In this case, no reference for such a shell.
