bryang Posted May 26, 2015 Share #1 Posted May 26, 2015 This weekend a friend gave me this nice (and large) 90mm shell casing. It has felt tabs on the bottom, which leads me to believe that a previous owner used it for decoration (or possibly a place to hold umbrellas and/or walking sticks). It stands approximately 2 feet tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted May 26, 2015 Share #2 Posted May 26, 2015 Nice Made in 1941 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandomatic Posted May 26, 2015 Share #3 Posted May 26, 2015 Looks like it was for the M1/M2 or M3 AA gun: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/90_mm_Gun_M1/M2/M3 I wonder if that casing as a type would be the same for the 90mm gun on the M36 Jackson and M26 Pershing. I figure yours specifically with a 1941 date would have been for an AA gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
