Found this while working on the inside of the wife's M37. I'm not familiar with the '50s era radio equipment so wasn't sure if this was military or not. Appears to be bakelite material.

Looks more like a shifter knob. What is the diameter?

That's the shift knob from a Jeep.

Man that's small for a gear shift knob (1.5" dia). But like I said, I'm not that familiar with that era and it sure wouldn't work on the M37 shifter so figured it was for something else associated with the truck.

It looks like a black smoke bomb. Or white smoke bomb that got burnt

It could be a Jeep shift knob for the transfer case or front axle, they are smaller than the transmission shifter. Or it could be for a PTO.

Looks kinda like a shift knob from a M38, M38A1. The one on my pops M38A1 pulls off soo easy that most of the time he drives it with no knob at all and the knob just rolls around on the floor.
