A frack to a noncombatant with a great label.

I suspect you're three Wagners are now empty, eh? Happy New Year!!!

It's actually quite rare to find mounted on a bar. I've got one as shown here and it's the only one I had ever seen until the above photo of one. It's obvious why it's a non-combatant bar.

Wow... that was fast! Thank you very much!

This photograph taken in 1918, shows employees of the New York Central Railroad at a celebration in Victory Way, showing off a pyramid of recovered German helmets in front of Grand Central Terminal. There are two cannons in the shot, one on either side; and there is a statue—possibly of Greek goddess of victory, Nike—on top of the pile. “Victory Way” was set up after World War I ended—captured German war equipment was displayed on Park Avenue just near Grand Central to help raise money for the 5th War Loan. Each end of Victory Way had a pyramid made up of 12,000 German helmets. The helmets were to be given away to large contributors to the 5th War Loan.
