I found this in a residential area, homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s, I originally thought it was a .50 caliber shell but there's no markings save one tiny little "5" on the rim.

For shape reference - the top tapered part is broken off, it's about 2.5" tall now

For caliber reference - maybe the size of a dime

For caliber ID - No markings! Except that tiny little etch I think is a "5"

I'm content enough with the partial ID we have :) Would like a solid ID if one is to be found, but no rush
