- Description
- Metal candle holder made from old artillery ammunition consisting of a central large silver bullet capped with a gold-coloured cap and decorative bauble on top and a copper band around the base, two gold-coloured candle holders on either side of an inscription on the bullet that reads “Q. 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.
