6-29-C-M-6.......TRENCH ART WWII B-24 LIBERATOR........Not too often do we find items such as this........original hand 'carved' (machined?) solid aluminum......made out of a single piece of aluminum, the craftsmanship is outstanding.......I suspect an aircraft mechanic (machinist, sheet metal man, etc) built this due to its quality.........
