I saw this today while enjoying an afternoon out with my wife. This is a rear seam M1 helmet shell with tracks! I thought some of you would get kick out of this so I took a couple of photos.

Was this in a shop in new hope? I feel like I saw this when I was there over the summer though I don't think I noticed the turtle lol. At least they look to be post war M1s.

Some friends have a turtle in the flower bed in front of their house. I have never checked to see what date it might have been.

Yes. A store called “Artisans Gallery” in Peddler's Village. I almost missed the turtle. It was on the floor under some display shelves and I just happened to look down at the right time.

Do you know what the asking price on the "tank" was?

I think it was a little over $350.

Thank you.  Obviously, a lot of work went into it.  It would be expensive to ship as it's rather heavy I imagine.
