[LogansRun]

Any ideas as to what this item is? I found two of them and they are heavy.

Odd. My first thought was a 8 track cassette player, but no wires on it. What's that tag on the bottom say? Sure like to know if that offers any info? I don't think your providing all can about it, such as dimensions of it. Could be a fireproof safety box missing a drawer for all I can tell

There are no dimensions here Buddy. Not electronic and non locking and heavy.
Is it magnetic? My guess would be that it is a magnetic field for wiping Tape Media More than likely VCR Tapes

That very well may be it trdking, a non-elect. mag tape eraser.

The tag says Made in Germany on both the top and bottom.

The dimensions are about 5"x5". Not sure if its magnetic. Not near the item at the moment but I can check later this afternoon about the magnetic part. It is also open on both ends.

A video tape VHS wouldn't fit but maybe something like an old cassette tape.

My first thought was some kind of industrial oven

Thanks. The item comes from a military officer's estate so am guessing the two devices were U.S. Army issued with the green color.
