Printed from Woolley & Wallis

Description

A small collection of 'Trench Art' items, including: a very well made working model of a miner's lamp, in salvaged copper and brass, the oil reservoir fashioned from the head of a 12 bore cartridge; a desk stand formed of a shell fuse on a wooden base, lifting to reveal a collection of shrapnel balls, base set with a Royal Artillery badge; a 'sweetheart' pendant comprising the two halves of the same silver threepence together with a crucifix (inviting speculation that the soldier who kept one half of the coin may have returned safe to his beloved); and other items.
