(solved) question reguarding old style ceramic capacitors (dogbone?)

[whitevamp]

so i was hoping that someone here wiser then me, and possible a grey beard. might be able to help me out on this question.
so i have a bunch of these old style capacitors ( or that's what i think they are, if my googlefu is not failing me. ) that from looking appear to be called dogbone ceramic style capacitors.
is this correct.



PS: yes i have tried to measure them but they are too low for my meter to read.

they may be resistors too..

Yes, that is an old "dogbone" style capacitor. Scroll down this page to translate the color code:

EDIT: upon looking at that page more closely I can see it might be difficult to understand since the stripe order legend is messed up. This page has a less-than-sharp reproduction of a color code decoder but it is more intelligible:
