WW2 era trench art ashtray with a P-38 topper. The body of the P-38 is made from bullets and bullet casings. The body of the plane is shell brass and the base is a 90mm shell casing (1944).
The veteran had this ashtray chromed. It shows dings from the years and is wearing through on the base.
See my other postings for several other aircraft related pieces of trench art.
Thanks for looking,
Scott
