Very beautiful antique condition
Each measures approx 2 1/16" x 2"
with black ink surely having faded a bit over 200+ years but still strong

DOT, 1945 Brass Trench Art (Removable) Dorcel Lighter, Monogrammed JPA on Reverse antique british snuff box Very beautiful antique conditionI was drawn to the elusive and evocative DOT engraved in perfect trench art style on the face of this Dorcel lighter, 1945 on the flip lid just above it. There is what I take for a monogram on the other side, JPA. Maybe DOT was his sweetheart? Or stood for an event or location? Or Dept of Transportation?! Somehow the capital letters, with that O at the center, make me imagine the DOT as a shape, as in dot, line, circle, square, etc. 1 7 8" x 1 3 8" x
