It looks to be in very nice shape! Is there a reason why it looks laquered and so shiny? Now you need a nice brass fuze for it!
 
Hi mKubes, That is an awesome depth charge. Here is pic(s) of practice MkVI WWII U.S. depth charge I mentioned in PM. A tad rough but would look nice next to other one....Dano

It was quite dirty with some rust in spots, wiped it down with Breakfree before I took picture.
 
Both of the depth charges shown here were manufactured by the Beatrice steel tank co. This model was also made by Rheem manufacturing (the water heater co.) I guess that makes sense! Pat
