WWI Military Trench Art: The soldiers used empty shell cases to manufacture a variety of objects, including lighters, vases, photoframes, ashtrays, etc. This is a very nice example of that era, a brass & copper photoframe in the shape of a mosque, with the star & crescent and a ribbon with the inscription “1917 – SALONIQUE – 1918”. In very fine condition for its age. Size: Approx. 83x102mm. Weight: 58gr.
