OK, I confess... It's not a Fisher radio so forgive the impure intrusion (there is no GE category on good ol' AK). This cap is from a 1948 model 50 GE clock-radio, one of the first clock-radios which was built by copying the very first clock-radio, a Telechron 8H59 musalarm. I just bought it at an antique store and thought it would be fun to restore.
But a domino-like capacitor??? How does one determine the value from the colored dots? I know it's a color code one can look up. It's funny that it looks like a domino so I posted it for fun. "It appears to be a 6-dot JAN color code."

It's called a "molded mica capacitor."
So I think this cap is 220 ?F 100VDC 5% tolerance
