Looks like a Magnet Schultz label. The top line (MSA) indicates that.

The second line is a model and date code. I could not find a standard model 9333, but that may just indicate this model was made for a particular customer; i.e., the company that donated these parts to you.

The third line indicates that the part is rated for 12V DC, intermittent duty.

What are the dimensions? Body diameter, rod diameter, and overall length should be sufficient to compare this part against an equivalent standard part. An ohmmeter measurement at the electrical leads will be sufficient to compare against an equivalent continuous duty rated one.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
