Schrodinger’s Can

I got this old Navy surplus can with an electrical relay inside with some other crap at an old-fashioned auction a while back.

I want so bad to open it, but it would destroy the can and probably wouldn’t be good for the relay, if it’s any good at this point.

So the way things are, it’s both a decomposed piece of junk, or a cool relay for some sort of project. (My cat likes boxes but not closed off. She does NOT want to participate in your thought experiments.)
