Original Magnificent WWI Trench Art "Leg" Lighter Named to Famous Lafayette Escadrille Pilot Bert Hall Brown Bess Year of Manufacture: circa 1895Original Item: One of a Kind. This may or may not have come to us in a package marked FRAGILE. Its a leg! But not just that, it's also a lighter! This is a magnificent example of WWI Era "Trench Art", a cigar or cigarette lighter in the form of a lady's leg. It is made from blacked copper and brass, with the top of the leg coming off to reveal the workings of the lighter. It measures approximately 5 1 4 inches long. Quite a bit of time must have gone
