WWI Trench Art 3\" 50 Cal. Copper Shell, 23.5\"Tall, Base is 4.25\" Wide, Shell Weighs 8 lbs Inert. Very large trench art. It looks like copper but the base has brass spots showing through. I\'m updating this thanks to a keen eyed er who tells me it is probably brass & the color is due to age
Shell is inert & has no primer. Has dents in the sides of shell & a small tear on top edge. The following is everything I found stamped on bottom.T. B. & CO.

There may be more stamped on bottom I didn\'t see & I may have misread stamps I listed
The bottom has plenty of dings & scratches. Looks like alot of time was involved making this trench art. The following list shows what was created on the shell from top to bottom.
