      WW1 souvenir item. These are often called trench art, although I am not 100% certain that it was made from War residue.

      They do have value but minimal. Most I see are less than $50.

      I am a collector of trench art. Here is one of mine:

      Nothing wrong with values being part of the conversation:

      "While an item’s value can certainly be a part of the conversation, Show & Tell is mostly a forum for communicating with other users to learn more about the pieces you own."

      Thank you scottvez and my country for the information. Appreciate the links for more info. It is helpful to know it is WWI and it pertains to trench art. Dolls and doll clothes are more my thing. Thanks again!
