W.W.I. Period Trench Art Aeroplane Brooch. c.1914

Very nice gilded brass miniature trench art brooch resembling a Bleriot monoplane which were used by the British and French in the early stages of W.W.I. Most likely dating from around 1914.

Trench art items such as this were manufactured by both soldiers and locals using brass from spent artillery shell cases. The locals would sell the pieces to the troops as souvenirs. This example is a nicely hand made from a single piece of brass, has rotating propeller and is mounted on a brooch pin. Length : 35mm. Good condition.
