While sorting through a $5 auction junk lot today, I found an artillery
shell casing. I had no time to measure it, but it looks like it is
from a 120mm or 152mm shell or something like that. The casing, of
course, is spent.

My first question is, is it legal, but I assume it is.

My second question is, does it have any value at all. I looked on ebay
and have not found much.

You could try mgetting it and turning it into a vase or lamp.

I've had this piece of "Trench Art" from WW1 sitting in our kitchen for
so long I forgot where and when I bought it.

But this guy's got so much of it its a wonder his place doesn't break
through the crust of the earth and sink into the magma below. G

Interesting. This is a steel piece, I think at least, doubtfully it is
as easily workable. I will just fill it with rocks and make it a door
stop for my front door.

Big enough for an umbrella stand or someplace to park a walking
stick. If you post the headstamp info, somebody might have some more
ideas as to what it's from. My bet is that it's from a tank gun. From
time to time, some of the surplus outfits will have drill projectiles,
should you wish to make up the set. Plate them both and have a classy
knee-knocker.
