Rare WW2 Artillery Shell Casing

[Barefeets]

This is a WW2 all brass, 3" Mark ii M2 artillery shell casing dated 1944. I can't find another anywhere on the web that matches. I paid $20 for it with intentions to sell but unless it is worth quit a bit i believe i'll hang on to it. Opinions on value?
