Going thru my deceased friends parts, etc. Found these 2 items and before I throw them away, I need to know if these parts might work somewhere on a layout. Thanks for looking and your responses.

They look like rectifiers to me.

"...throw them away"??
Alex and everyone else....thanks so much for this info.
The rectifier should have an amp rating on it too. Example might be; 5 Amp and the voltage number. Also the bridge rectifier should have 2 ~ that mean for the AC power to hook up to and the + and - signs for the DC can motor to hook up to.
