Masonic Trench
Art Vase with
Eagle and
Square and Compasses
This is a well crafted World War
II brass 105 artillery shell casing that has been hammered and molded into an
elaborately designed vase that measures 15" tall x 5 1/2 " diameter base.
The shell casing weights 7 pounds. It is marked on the bottom "MAM 3751
18M." The engraving design is intricate, well done and features on one
side an American Eagle and the words "E Pluribus Unum" on the banner in the
eagles beak. On the other side is the Masonic Square and Compasses with
the Letter "G" executed with great care and wonderful detail. The background
on the shell has a punch design. This is a very well made piece of " trench
art."
