WWII-era Tank Pipe Stand

[Brig]

Found this on eBay last week, going to sit it on the corner of my desk at work with my pipe on the corner. Estimate it to be circa-WWII era.

Amazing.

That's really cool!

Do you think that the piece was made to be a pipe stand or do you think it was modified for that purpose?

From the pictures it appears to have been carved out to hold a pipe probably from where the main gun would have been which may have broken off. Any way it is very nice.

@Brig what’s it made of ?

Syroco made versions without and with a pipe divot (this looks like the former modified).

Most of Syroco’s products were resin with wood. They also made all plastic items.

It has several features of the US WW2 M3 Lee tank . Track/bogie set up & super structure and turret guns .
But enough differences to give a charming effect .
