    An odd but interesting looking thing. Where did you find it? Country? My first thought was that it’s no very old. Maybe it was left unfinished? (I have no idea)

    It looks kind of like an incomplete rendition of a WWI artillery shell.

    It rings a bell, but can't remember who, what, where. New Guinea? @2manybooks , do you recognize it?

    I don't recognize it, and can't find a comparison. With the flat bottom and "cap" it does look like it is supposed to be a bottle of some sort, perhaps just a representation of one.
