Sorting through a box of parts I came across these. The color bands suggest don't seem to match the measurement.
My DATS v3 Rev G says .9983 Ohms so it does not appear my DMM is lying.

I know the feeling. Most of mine that weren't in the cards for use, were given away.
There are still quite a few left, though.
That was awfully close to exactly 1R, for a 5% part. Strange.

When I was a kid, my mother's friend's husband invited me over to see his Tesla coil. He was going to teach me a limerick to learn the resistor color codes, but changed his mind because it had dirty words in it. To this day...
Are you sure it isn't a 47 uH inductor? Axial inductors can look awfully similar to resistors, although they are often a bit thicker.
OK, This one is awful from the mail order course my dada took in 1957 from
Cleveland Institute of Electronics.

That's the one I learned in the mid '60s. I ended up taking the course but not taking the tests.
It was many years before I stumbled on to the colors of the rainbow buried in the middle and
the ascending value of luminance buried in the entire sequence.

I wondered that, too. DATS says no.
I searched my inbox for 47uH orders and I see I ordered 3 of these in 2011, apparently losing them, and ordering another 3 in 2019 but those parts were SMD.
What is DATS?
Whatever it may be, the screenshot says it doesn't work below 50 uH, so 47 uH is just out of range.

Silly me for not paying attention to units. Yeah, that was the problem. For grins, I wired all 10 in series and DATS measured .4492 mH and 9.86 Ohms.
Thanks!
My vote is inductor, looks too fat/squat to be a metal film resistor. Note DATS doesn't go below 0.05mH so won't necessarily register a 47µH inductor, given that's below 0.05mH
