Abstract
- Lamp has a projectile shaped piece of wood attached to a wooden base. Attached to projectile shaped piece of wood are two medals and a medallion. One medal is an Austrian bravery medal depicting Charles I, Emperor of Austria (also known as Karl I). The medallion says "GOTT MIT UNS" (God with us) and depicts a crown and a laurel wreath. The second medallion is in the shape of an Iron Cross, has a crown at the top, the letter "W" (for Kaiser Wilhelm) and the year "1914." For more information about the medals and medallion, refer to the other notes in record. Affixed to the top of the projectile shaped wood piece is a "Scovill 1907 M" nose cone fuse with "LOT 172 and G-A-109-17." The nose cone fuse has numbers 1 through 21 which represented the number of seconds a soldier could program the projectile before explosion. At the top of the nose cone fuse is an American light bulb socket, which would hold the light bulb. The socket has the inscription, "Leviton Made in the USA 250W 250V Lamp Holder" etched into the metal.
