Hi everyone. Sorry about the pic being sideways but I don’t know how to turn it ? Had anyone ever seen anything like this before ? It’s a WW 30 carbine shell inside. I acquired it but no idea what it was made for so I’m looking for info if possible ?

Thanks!

Maybe some sort of advertising gimmick, though I’ve never heard of an ammo maker by that name.  If so, that undistinguished cartridge was a very odd choice to promote the maker.

I have some Lucite trophies that are made by the same or a similar process.

Looks like a nice paper weight to me.

Sincerely,
