Frank Melanson is looking for some answers about an object he bought from a woman who was cleaning out her closet.

He's a coin collector so it really caught his eye.

The object he found is believed to be a piece of naval trench art. It's a brass bolt with two British Shillings covering the bolt holes. The interesting part about it is it's a lighter.

"Was it made for someone? Does it have sentimental value? There's all kinds of questions you can ask about it," he said.

There's a piece of flint and a hole for the flame to come out of on top. Then, there's a plastic holder on the bottom that allows you to fill it with lighter fluid.

The shillings say 1945 on it and the woman who sold him it, had relatives who fought in World War Two, but she didn't know anything about it.

"So, I figure there must be someone out there that knows something about it."
