Vintage Trench Art Ashtray – Australian Commonwealth Military Force

A striking piece of Australian military trench art, featuring a brass ashtray crafted from wartime materials and decorated with the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces badge. The centre is formed from a repurposed artillery shell/bullet, a classic style seen in soldiers’ handmade items from the WWI–WWII era.

Trench art pieces like this were often created by soldiers or wartime metalworkers using available materials, making each item unique and historically meaningful.

A wonderful collectible for military history enthusiasts, Australian memorabilia collectors, or as a standout display piece.
