Trench Art Matchbox Cover with Heart-Shaped Lock, Corn, Wheat, Sun, Moon, etc! chunky carving bright white with rusty orange-redI love this trench art matchbox cover as a study in mark making, in addition to the images these varied marks forms; what a lot of love and labor! WWII I am guessing and made of heavy tin, with great image of a heart shaped lock on one side, what I believe are a tree, stalk of corn and shaft of wheat on the other with sun, moon and star overhead, and then initials planted by artillery shells or perhaps bombs on the side. 2 1 4" l x 1 9 16" w x 13 16"
