resistor shaped capacitors

[yxz]

In a surplus components grab bag I've found some resistor shaped
capacitors. They appear as normal 1/4 Watt resistors of a yellowish
colour and show two gold bands. Their value is also represented using the
normal color code adopted for resistors.
As I've never used these capacitors, can anyone tell what kind they
belong to (polyester, ceramic, etc), so I can use them in the right
project? Thanks.

Most I have seen are ceramic.
