This rare vintage cane features a trench art style bullet handle that doubles as a functioning old fashioned lighter. The top section of the bullet unscrews to reveal the lighter mechanism, a classic example of soldier made or battlefield inspired trench art. The metal bullet handle has an inscription on the end that reads WH 20MM 21A1 1945, adding historical interest. The cane measures approximately 33-3/4 in in total length, with a cane width of about 3/4 in. The handle height is approximately 7 in, and the handle width ranges from about 1 in at its widest to about 3/4 in at the narrowest. Weight is approximately 15 oz. From a smoke free, pet free collection.
Military swagger sticks and trench art items are highly collectible, and this piece combines both categories. The repurposed 20mm bullet casing gives the cane a rugged, authentic feel. The working lighter mechanism makes it even more unusual. Items like this were often crafted by soldiers during downtime and brought home as mementos, resulting in one of a kind artifacts with real personality. The combination of hand work, military history, and functional design makes this cane stand out among vintage walking sticks.
This cane is an ideal gift for collectors of trench art, military memorabilia, WWII artifacts, or unusual walking sticks. It serves as a conversation starter and a display piece, whether placed in an office, study, den, or collection. With its sturdy construction and unique history, it will appeal to anyone who appreciates meaningful vintage craftsmanship. From a smoke free, pet free collection, it is well preserved and ready for display.
