    WW2 trench art candlesticks.

    This pair is unusual. Similar in construction to the typically seen 40mm base with the 50 cal topper (will post a link to one later).

    These have a 37mm (anti- aircraft gun) base, with a amber plastic middle section and then a 50 cal shell base on the top to hold the candle.

    One of the 37 mm shell bases has the "1942" date visible.

    I am not sure what the amber sections are from. Any thoughts or information on that is appreciated.

    My trench art, my photos. Do not use my photos without my permission.
