Miniature travel channukiyah, made of metal, with a back board engraved with the tablets and lions, standing on four welded legs. The shamash attaches to the body, with a hole for pouring oil into the crevasses. Matching round bottle made of metal with a screw-top for storing the oil; the side of the bottle has an engraving of a jug. There is also a matching miniature box for holding matches, with an engraving of flames, perhaps also for preserving the wicks until they are burned according to halacha. Included is a large cloth rag for wiping and cleaning, with many oil stains and dirt. The channukiyah is 9cm tall, and 11×5 (length and width). Various defects, generally good condition.
Given in a wooden box for storing the items, suitable for carrying, with hinges for opening the box. Inside is sponge cushioning with depressions for each of the items. Two metal clasps are on the box, and on the inside of the cover is also screwed in a metal plate with a Yiddish inscription: “To my dear child, return as quickly as possible, your father Moshe ben Zelig.” This was probably a gift given by a family to a Jewish soldier during World War One given his presumed absence from the family during Hanukkah—the roof of the box bears an illustration of the US, English, French, and other flags of the Entente Powers from the war, with the date: 1918. Length and width: 23x15cm. Height: 8cm. Rust on the clasps, paint is flaking, stains. Generally good condition.
