I found them in a 50year old taperecorder...
No markings.
I think they'r kinda cute.

I doubt it. They dont seem to have any polarity indicator. I suspect they are film caps of some sort.

my first guess was diodes too. there's a way to tell for sure- get out your meter and check the voltage drop.

I'm always finding them in old junk
The polarity is probably marked with red on one side
They look like they're supposed to have a neg side?

Idd, only one side is red.
My DMM indicates a 1,5V and 1,6V Voltage drop.
