A unique piece of WWII-era brass military trench art, fashioned from a vintage ordnance component and repurposed into a charming match holder. The top-hat silhouette and beautifully aged brass patina make this an especially interesting little piece for styling.
The underside retains its original military markings, including “LOT NO. 971,” “5-45,” and “MK 2,” with the 5-45 marking indicating a likely production date of May 1945.
Measurements: 2.25” tall × 3.25” wide
Condition: Vintage condition with age-related wear, oxidation, and patina throughout, consistent with its age and history.
