A little background: my father, who recently passed away, had three of these stored with some silver rounds, so I tend to believe they have some value. However, no one I've asked, including a coin shop, has any idea.

I’m not at liberty to say what it is, but suffice it to say it is on the recent DHS/FBI alerts regarding signs of homegrown terrorists.

That is really valuable.
It’s an insert for an early 1920’s chastity belt that was used by the Amish to fend off the wild advances of the Mennonites.
Probably the last one in existance.
I’m thinking maybe $125,000 on e-bay.

Something to help prevent the silver from tarnishing?

Its some kind of dust trap.

Yes, the silver rounds have some value. As for the other object, it’s a “ting”. Someone asks for it, they say, “Gimme dat ting”. And the reply is, “Yeah, dat ting”.
So it’s a ting.

Looks exactly like the cooling fan filter from old analog vacuum tube (pre computer) instrumentation panels (30-40 years ago).
