Default Whatzit called?

A friend of mine picks up all sorts of things from his union job, many of
which are in or headed for the dumper. Recently he brought me some THICK
washers that were labeled EARTHQUAKE SPACERS (or something like that. I'm
sure about the earthquake part, not sure about the spacer part) They were
about 1" in diameter, 1" thick, had a 3/8" hole through the axis of the
cylinder, and had a brass looking coating. They were six in a package. Now
I need more for a project. I know they are called spacers, but is there a
specialty name for them?
