piece of pipe or swivel gun

[Moe (fl)]

This broken piece was found at the beach. It is heavy bronze/brass.

It has ridges on inside. Any ideas?

I estimate that the inner diameter is a little more than 1.5 inch. The thickness is 1/4 inch.

Re: piece of pipe or small cannon

It looks like the shrapnel I find here!

Here are pics after cleaning.

you've got a lot of brass to be posting that here!

I am thinking this is part of a swivel gun. The diameter would be about 1.5 inches which is the right size.

Moe, maybe a piece of Babbit bearing from a propeller shaft on a boat?

It has score lines like a bearing. Also looks like heat damage. But I cant say for sure..

Thanks. I am not sure about the propeller bearing.
