  • Original Item. One-of-a-Kind. This is an outstanding and unique piece of trench/folk art, an artillery shell bank carved from a single log. It measures roughly 9 ½” tall with a 3 ⅛” diameter. 


    The shell has the Imperial German eagle to the side with colored German tri-color flags to each side, meeting in the middle with the regimental designation 42, which would denote the 2nd Silesian Field Artillery Regiment No. 42.


    There is some cracking in the lid, but nothing structurally damaging. There is a slot on the side of the lid for coins to be inserted. 


    A true one-of-a-kind piece of trench art, likely captured by an American soldier who took it home. Ready to display!
