You are bidding on the exact, vintage Copper and Brass Matchbox Cover that you see in the photos. It depicts a 3 dimensional German Pickelhaube Spiked Helmet on the front with the words Gott Mit Uns which is German for God With Us. It also has a ribbon depicted on the side marked with Souvenir De France.
We are not experts or collectors so please see all the photos and consider them a part of the description. We believe this to be WWI era according to a few areas on the internet!! Some were calling it trench art but not really sure this fits that category. This one does not come up very often, we have only been able to find 2 other examples so information is somewhat limited. I am guessing that its made from copper and the raised image on the front is brass....maybe...not sure. So much detail on one little piece! There are no dings or dents on only slight wear, in my opinion, on the metal, nice patina. Not sure what kind of metal this is. Don't miss out on this one and please check out the other great Matchbox covers that we will be listing as well as all of our other items! We are happy to combine shipping as well on most items. Makes a great gift or addition to any collection!!
