I don't know anything about it but I suspect it's worth the price of scrap. How heavy is it?

 

[Ace 250]

5to 10pounds but I think it would be worth for to a collecter

It does kinda look like a shell, but you need to take better pictures from different angles. Also no offense, but can you please take a little time to at least spell check your post. Fond is a little different than found. Gl HH

Most likely Vietnam era, you maybe able to get $10 to $15 for it, if it had been made into a piece of trench art it would be worth more. many of these shells were brought back by soldiers, or from US bases.

Here's a picture of a 105 Howitzer in action in Korea, and also a diagram of the loaded ammunition. 105's come in various shapes and sizes, some with longer barrels, and back in the day even as turret guns on tanks. Hopefully there is an artillery man that can fill you in more than I. As I recollect, the howitzer differs from a cannon in the angle of fire. The howitzer can shoot at a very steep angle, dropping ordnance almost straight down, not allowing the enemy to hide behind a ridge.

looks like a 40mm

What part of 105MM did you not get??

makes a good umbrella stand

There should be other markings in the brass base. The "18" could be a date code which puts it squarely in the middle of WWI. The M14 markings make me suspect it's alot more modern. They are still used today.
