Looks to me like an alarm gun blank. The modern ones are plastic. The game keepers use them over here in the woods. It looks to small for an engine starter. The engine starters for boats/ships that I have seen are 8 bore and about 5" long.

I saw A British made tractor, the Field Marshall, at an antique tractor show. It had a single cylinder, two cycle diesel engine which had provisions for using a 12ga blank for sarting. When I saw it started the owner did not use the blank so I don't know what they looked like.

Thanks fellas...this seems to be an enigma. A friend of mine showed it to me last week at a gunshow and I snapped the pics there as I was intrigued. It struck me "as military". I could hear powder when I shook it.

Could be some sort of launching blank for a line thrower or something similar.
2-Piper, I have some Marshall tractor starting cartridges they are just like green 12 bore shotgun cartridges but loaded with propellant only. I split some open and the propellent resembled short pieces of brown plastic loke material. Lagopus.....
