    They are Japaneseicon. Need a metric measurement of the top for caliber. Looks like a 37mm cannon shell. Measurement of the top should confirm or deny.

    Calculate the scrap value of the brass, add $25 for interest factor.

    At Aus they should start at $60-$70/Au a piece and go from there probably do better selling them separately rather than ask $120-$140 straight up so who knows what you will get may miss however they are WWII Japaneseicon and desirable.

    Then again Flea-bay is a funny place............
