A superb & heavy piece of 

American Trench Art 

from the 

Great War's Trenches

in the shape of a hand-made 

Shaped & Decorated Flower Vase

fashioned from a 1917 Artillery 75-mm brass casing

commemorating

American involvement in 

The Great War in 1918

Measuring some 10" high and with a beautifully

hammered flower to the front,

the base is marked:

NYAB

(New York Air Brake Company)

75mm DEC

814  L17

so making for a very attractive American souvenir from the

US sector of The Great War in 1918.
