...and I'm tired of checking incoming mail for envelopes of unknown powders* from readers suffering a lack-of-gruntlement, let us have a Whatziss!
This is me, guys and gals. There is simply *no way* it's as obvious as it looks.

Somebody made a nice tea caddy out of a de-milled mortar round, and made a cup to fit? I've seen some cups made out of big brass shell casings.
Rifle grenade, old, M2A1, 1 each?
Doesn't really look like an RPG and I've no experience with rifle grenades (always had access to an M203).
Sinker, lead, fishing, with incendiary proximity fuse Mk I.
Withdrawn from service as while it indeed did sink, and did indeed fry fish of all Mks, it also tended to sever/melt fishing lines.
Troop morale plummeted as a result of their freshly fried fish, of all Mks, becoming water logged and soggy.
Also the EPA reporting statements required due to the lead nature of the sinker became onerous.
Finally, it was determined that troops in the field just tended to chuck hand grenades into ponds to achieve much the same results.
Another failed piece of ordinance from the (in)famous "Bat Works".

But I'll go with a flask that holds the daily rum ration....and I know about rule 1 in country...but this doesn't hafta be for in country use. Those Red Legs like their comfort.
I admit to being tempted to agree with the others wise to your eggcup ways. It's .. ahem .. repurposed into something special*, maybe a spindly wool thingy.

My guess: warhead for an air-to-ground rocket made from a mortar round. WWII/Korea special.
