Hi all, have these two items that I am hoping someone has a clue what they are. The wheel shape one came from a trench site and appears to be pewter. Maybe part of a 'patent water filter' or wheel from a toy? Strange it would be pewter though. Other item looks like an artillery fuse to me, but has a square hole in the end, atypical for a fuse. Appears to have been longer but was broken. Has part of a chunk of lead stuck in the end. Cannot find it in my books. Thanks!
