    This pair is a typical WW2 trench art item with added engraving that makes it a step above the typical pair.

    The base is from a 40mm casing and the stem is constructed from two .50 cal rounds.

    This pair has palm trees as the central feature along with a "diary" of locations served: "Hawaii, Samoa, Australia, New Guinea, Luzon".

    The top is engraved with "Philippines 1944- 45".

    The base is engraved with "Dear Mother from your son".

    I have several sets of these, but this is the best engraved set.

    These were constructed by US Navy shipboard shops as well as USN CBs.
