Hubel458, I have a 12 gauge paper case in my collection that is about 6" long. I was told they were used for turning over the radial aircraft engines to help start them in WWII. Apparently the engines had a receptacle where the shell was inserted and could be fired by the pilot to help turn the engine over when he hit the starter button. I knew it had to be some kind of industrial use.

Thanks for the info. This 10ga one is probably same use.
It is an old paper case. Guy said something about bombs, so maybe it was used to start the huge radial engines on WW2 bombers.Ed
