✅ SOLVED Tiny Porcelain Thing

[Old Pueblo]

Anybody know what this is? It has an "8" on it and some other symbol looking thing, and on the edges a bunch of lines like you see on the ruler for measuring, only very small. No writing on the back side.



I was thinking it has something to do with electricity, or maybe even a game piece or something like that.

60's sweden and german car fuses , all you had to do was replace the copper filimant that went over the ceramic piece.. didn't work very good either,..

I think you're right. These are very similar, but no idea on the age.

Thank you both, that has to be it. Makes me wonder how it ended up in southern Arizona!

All Old VW's and Mercedes use that type of Fuse. 8 meaning -8 amp

Color coded 8, 10, 12, 16

Porsche also used them into the 1970's

That explains how it ended up where it did. Thank you.
