F. 18PR V F. C. F. 4-4-16,” and a wider gold-coloured base that has a small silver plaque that has the inscription “THE SHRAPNEL STAND COLONIAL FIXTURES LTD. REGISTERED 1915.”Souvenirs made from spent artillery shells were common during World War I. Objects such as boxes/cases, candle holders, simple toys, plates, cups, and more were prevalent due to the simple modifications to the ammunition that were needed.
