I have no idea what this is! HELP

I found this at a old gas station in my town. No idea what it is or what the mark represents?! I'm wanting to say it's some ammunition of some sort but I'm shooting in the dark.

I don't see it being a shotgun shell. There is no lip around the base and the primer looking area is not centered in the middle of the base. I would guess maybe the end of an electrical fuse.

I think it is a make up tube, may be lipstick, that hallmark sure looks familiar. I think I have a compact with a hallmark on it like that but I'm not positive. I'll look when I get a chance. The way it is presented (tapered) makes it look like a furniture leg tip, but that just looks like that because it is split.

I have a couple of old 10 gage shot brass shells that I dug years ago. If no one nails it I'll post them for example when I get a chance too.

Hi Dave, it sort of looks close to an AC adapter polarity symbol but it isn't, and most electrical motors schematic symbols are a capital M inside of one circle. This an example of an ac adapter polarity symbol.

Here's the brass shot shot shell, well what's left of it. When it came out of the ground it was about 4 inches tall and corroded, at the same spot I found another one that is worse off than this one. The can't take time to look for that logo if it was in this box or in my junk buckets, but I know I've seen it somewhere.

I believe Rusty is on to it.

If the material inside can be magnified for a closer view and it "looks like" layered foil and paper that would be the give away. Looks to me like the condensers "can" has corroded enough to split on one end giving it it's cone shape.

 

[Ant]

Yeah, and I'm a mechanic that's why that symbol looks so familiar.
