Ashtray Emblem Engraved Rifle Rounds Shell Surmounted Topographical Trench Unusual Ypres Made

EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing ashtray, a unique piece of Trench Art from World War I, showcases a repurposed German 45mm pom-pom shell. The pom-pom shell, a type of anti-tank projectile, has been transformed into an elegant and unusual smoking accessory. The shell's exterior is adorned with three rifle rounds, adding both function and decoration. The rounds are surmounted by the emblem of the historic Belgian town of Ypres, a testament to the military history of the region. The intricate engraving on the emblem adds a touch of sophistication to this one-of-a-kind piece. Trench Art, created during times of war, reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers and civilians alike. This ashtray, with its fusion of military history and everyday use, is a poignant reminder of the past and the transformative power of creativity.
