no 85 fuze
The container looks to be for a No. 85 fuze which is similar looking to a No.80 but has a distinctive top piece with a gap under it for venting the time combustion gases unlike the 80 which has side vents. They were supplied by the US and are their M1902 fuze. I have one 85 made by Scovill 1917 but no section drawing.

You could get this one on ebay and have a matching pair ?

that time of month
Hi all, Well, this has been on-going for some time now but I bought this Fuxe part container, as I get paid at beginning of month and I finally got this one coming, also I have an hz14 german fuze and 04 mushroom fuze coming on trade. Also have a 13pdr shell case dated 1918 (mark II) and a British WW1 fuze for 18 pdr shell coming. These are my paycheck items coming and I love them all. Will post pics as stuff arrives. I realize nothing major here but as my income is now fixed since retired i'm only called in when my services are badly needed since I quit the regular gig in 99. Dano

fuze tin
Well, Nobody else would bid on it so I bought the damn tin. I like the fact that it has the 17 wartime date on it. I tend to agree with Richard, at 2 5/8 inches across and 1 inch deep it must have held the percussion detonator and base plug only? Any other ideas? Dano
