Breeze Mark cartridges
I have a tin of these in a somewhat decomposing state, were packaged in a steel round can and adverse reactions to the brass , paper and can. Have some in fair condition, did google and see they were for starting radial diesel tank engines, marked 12 of 42 on case heads. Is there any collector value to these and I'm going to ASSume can't be shipped thru Priority Mail??

Basically high power 12 gauge blank shells. The Breeze Mark used cordite powder. It will have some value in the 1930 to 1940's aircraft collectors, many planes used the Coffman starter and Breeze mark was made under their patten rights. Ship only by ground, UPS or Fed Ex.
Strange, ain't it, thousands of airplanes carried them so they could start the engines, but now it's against the law to ship them on a plane.[:0][:0]0 -

49,
8-gauge. Yes, cartridge collectors may some interest, also aircraft & armor enthusiasts?
EDIT 49... oops, my bad, was going off a fading memory.
The one you show is a 4-gauge. I've one exact the same, checked it this morning and diminsions match up with a another different type/purpose of industrial 4-gauge in my collection.
Loooking around the 'Net, I could not find a list of the different gauge blanks the engine starter systems used?
