Helmet is nice as well

I like both pieces, I’ve ever seen a camo shell before. Is there any history to the pieces?

So I got the shell several years ago from a camouflage collector master who seen the artistic aspect of it.

The shell was found in up state nyc in the mid 1960s.

It set a simmering fire with me and I always wanted a cammo helmet to display side by side.

I am very into pattern format = how the scheme plays to the eye and viewed many lids before one caught my eye.

I am under no illusions that the 86th were not in the thick of it but they were deployed and were in France 1918.

The voyage home on the boat was long and most camouflage helmets were painted during this time.

This probably being one of them.

What I enjoy is the turquoise blue.

Artifacts either appeal to yiu or they don’t.

This one floated my boat.

Thanks Bugme for the sage advice on this field.

My bud Jeff Scheinder of antiques road show seen the shell at my house several years ago and exclaimed he had not seen one before.

That made me happy as Jim Lovell who found it will be really happy

The shell is fantastic, reminds me of stained glass

And the painting all over is just like this

Here is a few of the painting on the projectile.

I was told it’s French I think, but that was years ago.

I may be wrong though

 

Thanks for all the kudos on this pair.
