EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage 1914 Fums Up charm, a cherished relic from the early 20th century. The Fums Up charm is a small, doll-formed trinket, with a distinctive wooden head and a Registration Number "636612" etched on its back. These charms were popular among soldiers during World War One, serving as symbolic good luck charms. The wooden head was believed to be a touchwood, providing an added layer of protection and comfort in the face of adversity. The Fums Up charm is a testament to the rich history of military memorabilia from the First Great War, also known as World War I or WWI. These charms were produced during a time of great uncertainty and hardship, when the outcome of the war was uncertain, and soldiers sought solace in small comforts. The Fums Up charm, with its simple yet enduring design, became a beloved keepsake for many soldiers, reminding them of home and hope amidst the chaos of war. The Registration Number on the back of the charm is an essential feature, adding to its historical significance. Each charm was unique, making it an individual memento for each soldier. The Fums Up charm is a fascinating piece of commemorative ware, a tangible link to the past, and a reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of those who lived through a pivotal moment in military history.
