  • Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is a really gorgeous trench art lighter made by a Prisoner of War during World War II. The lighter is dated 9-5-1944 for May 9th, 1944, and depicts palm trees and a lighthouse. The lighter measures 2⅜ x ½ x ⅞”.


    The side of the lighter reads:


    VAN NEST
    P.W. CAMP 131


    We’re unsure if this is the name of the camp or the name of the soldier, but this makes for a great research project! Comes ready for further research and display.
