Was this a line throwing cartridge from WWII? Looks like a standard .45-70 case with a shellacked wad about 1/2" down in the case.

It is for a line-throwing trapdoor.

They were still used actively on US Navy ships right on through WWII.

Years ago one of the local shops had a boxed complete outfit.
