You characterized it pretty well mechanically -- how about electrically? Did you try to measure resistances both directions? How about reverse voltage (assuming it really is a rectifier...). Based on your description, I would _guess_ it is a high voltage, low current rectifier (e.g., for a CRT anode supply). Perhaps selenium?
