This is some stuff from an old Army/Airforce firing range from the 1940s and 1950s. Does anyone recognize what any of this stuff is? I found all of this stuff in an area where the Army was training men to use the 20 mm anti-aircraft gun (cannon), as Ive found a fired 20 mm shell and several crushed ammo boxes that say they 20 mm on them. Could these have been the pins for securing a barrel cap or something? The little round metal thing says "Cannon" and has some numbers on it. And the little glass thing looks like an electrical insulator to me. Maybe from a radio or something. Ive found two of them. The one in the photo has a small "12" on the top and the other says "42" or "43" or something. Please let me know what you think. Thanks
