Speaking of tax stamps. I’m pretty fascinated by them, especially on lighters. The oldest pieces in my collection have European tax stamps, in fact.
Two from my collection of rope/wick lighters are particularly old. Both have French 1911 brass stamps. That makes them antiques at more than 100 years old, but I digress …
In France during that time period, all lighters exported had tax stamps applied. This particular stamp with “1911” was used until about 1916 when the style was changed to more of a dog bone shape. I have some of those, which I’ll share in a future post.
One of these lighters is a traditional rope lighter, also called a sailor lighter. Sometimes they are referred to as “trench lighters” or “foxhole lighters” but I don’t think those names are appropriate for this style. (We can debate that later.) The lighter works by striking the flint like normal but the spark starts the wick smoldering. There is no true flame.
The other one has the rope mechanism but also a fuel reservoir as shown in one of the photos. So it can be used to smolder or to produce a flame.
I have a decent collection of rope lighters acquired from a friend in The Netherlands who bought them as part of a collection. The previous owner lived in a fishing village and my storytelling brain likes to think he traded for them with sailors coming into port. I have no proof of this but it entertains me to consider.

Applying sprigs to a rocks glass early in the morning. So I found that if I build the cup in the afternoon when I get home I can remove it, trim it and stamp it in the morning before work. #clay #sprigs #plasticarmymen #trenchwarfare #trenchart #ghosts #pottery https://www.instagram.com/p/CFiRz4kjFod/?igshid=1w77317xcn766

Cigarette Case made by Italian Prisoners of War. WW2. (1941/46).North Africa Campaign. A great example of an Italian prisoner of war made cigarette case. This was a typical British 8th Army bring back war trophy / souvenir. Beautifully made. These unique cigarette cases were usually created from salvaged high quality alloy from downed aircraft or from supply tins or trays. These are sturdy and have quite thick metal and are nicely engraved and inlaid. They were much sought after by all allied troops in North Africa and beyond. This all took place during a time when almost 100 000 Italian POWs were held captive at the Zonderwater camp during the years 1941-1946. This is a Trench Art Cigarette Case. Trench art is any decorative item made by soldiers, prisoners of war, or civilians where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences. It offers an insight not only to their feelings and emotions about the war, but also their surroundings and the materials they had available to them.  The measurements for this item are 5.25 Inches by 3Inches. #trenchart #cigarettecase #cigarette #cigarettecases #ww2 #ww2history #warzone #etsyshop #etsy #etsysellersofinstagram #etsyuk #etsyfinds https://www.instagram.com/p/CG0EMb9HkJn/?igshid=1jjn5cycghk3o

I love coincidences! I was thrilled to see that @tom.finds found partial piece of a farthing from 1899 whilst mudlarking recently which matches my 1899 Queen Victoria farthing I found at a car boot sale in Grantham recently. My understanding of why we find cut out coins is that they were a form of trench art created by soldiers during the war and that this one was likely made during the Second Boer War (11 Oct 1899 – 31 May 1902). . . . #trenchart #cutoutcoin #mudlarking #farthing #queenvictoria #queenvictoriafarthing #boerwar #victoriancoin #coincidence #happycoincidence #1899 #1899coin https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbcw1BCNU2M/?utm_medium=tumblr
