Trench Art - a small selection

[super7]

Part 1:

A small selection of some of my ww1 trench art stuff. As you probably all know most of this is made after the war and sold as souvenirs to the battlefield visitors.

from which front did u collect all these beautiful trench work?

Thanks. Most of them have been obtained in Belgium. I managed to find the tall American trench art lamp with the helmet on top on a fleamarket in Utrecht (NL).

Very Nice! Love the "DANGER" clock.

Brian, the 'danger' clock is in fact a Belgian 155 mm shell with an original fuze. A rather big and heavy lump of steel. I got it with the text on it and just left it as it is.

A very nicely engraved set, Kev. I beleive that the engraved ones are the real mccoy when it comes to trench art: art actually made by soldiers during there spare time.
