My wife wouldn't be too thrilled with this.
I got her a plate as well.
Verdun 1916 Commemorative plate
And she collects WWI items.

Is that a 220mm Howitzer case ?
I don't know Gary, but I don't think it is, as it is only circa 110mm in diameter, so a 105mm would be my guess. Hopefully someone who knows about these will comment at some stage. I found it strange that it is not marked in a similar manner to the 18 pounder cases I own, though I think it is typical for WWI German cases to not be marked.

I've got a 220mm ... it's like an elephants foot in size !!
If the case is a 10.5cm example it was probably used in one of these.
