Picked this up at a gun show in Baltimore a long time ago for $5. They were popular trinkets from WWII and later. Bet the aluminum is scrap aircraft parts. I've seen other variations since on e-bay and elsewhere. Nice wall hanger in the cave. About 12" x 12".
"FORGED IN FIRE" has copied a few of the patterns. (Click the pic to rotate it. ARRGGHHH!) J.O.

Re: WWII Moroland/Philippines souvenir
That is cool! When I click on it, it rotates when it opens.

Re: WWII Moroland/Philippines souvenir
I think that is a lot newer than WW2. I also doubt the aluminum is from aircraft, they likely used car pistons like the knife makers here in the US did.

Re: WWII Moroland/Philippines souvenir
Can't figure out the picture rotation thing. Sometimes it does and other times it doesn't. ???? Maybe one of the experts can explain it.

Re: WWII Moroland/Philippines souvenir
If I take a photo with my cell phone and I am holding it normally, as I would when making a call (portrait), the picture will post sideways.
If I rotate the phone 90° (landscape) and take a pic, the pic will post for correct viewing.
Hey, it works for me.

Re: WWII Moroland/Philippines souvenir
Very interesting piece, J O., thanks for posting. Regardless of how old it is, (some pre-date WW2) or where the aluminum came from, you have a great wallhanger for 5 bucks.
In regards to posting photos, Steve has given some good advice. I have also discovered that if you edit a photo that was taken in "normal" phone position, the edited photo will post correctly. Just a slight enlargement, or any other change will do it.
