That's, I think, a timed fuse for an artillery shell.
Daniel Jackson
It was used to set the temperature in ww2 showers
Jonathan Reyes
Artillery fuse. Time is set with a wrench.
They look like that even today.
Lucas Edwards
That's a dilator. Your gramps was a tranny.
Matthew Cruz
Your grandfather's dialator

For all in tents and purposes - it's a trench dildo.
James Miller
Looks like the fuse to a 75mm m1907 artillery price.

Explain what
"for all in tents and purposes" means?
Luke Perez
Yep, artillery fuse. Just be aware, that it's possible to make it explode. Especially, as it is pretty old...

Smack the top with a hammer, do it pussy do it!

That's definitely what it is. That fuse screws onto a 75mm shrapnel shell. You set the timer according to a ranging table. Ideally you want the shell to detonate ~10ft above your target for maximum effect.

It's one of those steampunk pokemon you get in sword and shield
Eli Gutierrez
My sister has one of those in her drawer.
Jaxon Martin
It can explode? its in my room using it as a paper weight.

The fuse pictured in the OP has been deactivated. Otherwise the safety pin would still be inserted.

Okay, THAT got me...
Joseph Bailey
Ok, I believe. But on the other hand, maybe removed from a dud round? A lot of duds especially during WW1

You can make sure it's been deactivated pretty easily. See the attached image for a cross section of a similar fuse. You can see that most of the internal space at the bottom is where the detonating charge is positioned.
Your fuse would either use loose powder or cordite.
Take your fuse and turn it over. Is the cap holding the charge in place gone? Does it look like it has been drilled out and the charge removed?
Mabe take a picture of the underside of your fuse and I can have a look at it.

Thanks, your autism level is higher than mine. But I'm not op so I can't check, kek
