Egypt: Made by Granger, [May 1945]. A copper-plated brass souvenir cigar box, cedar lined, the lid engraved with a map depicting the battlefields of Europe, and titled "V.- E. World War II Battlefields of Europe." The sides of the box are engraved with the key battles and campaigns, divided by the calendar years from 1939-1945. Stamped on the bottom of the box, "Granger Made in Egypt," and "Brass used in the manufacture of this box was salvaged from the battle fields of World War II." The lid and corners of the box lightly worn with some loss of copper. A fascinating relic of World War II commemorating the end of the war. Cigar boxes like this were made by a British military supply firm in Egypt, presumably from metal salvaged from the North African Campaign.
