I 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" d and in very good condition. Fits a standard matchbox, as pictured.
