Lighter Century, 1942-1945
Title: Century
Type: gasoline lighter
Material: Steel
Year: 1942-1945
Country: United States
Approximate cost: $ 15-50
Lighter Century - typical fliptop World War II, was produced for the U.S. Army. It was made of steel and coated with coating characteristic crackle green or brownish-gray color. Some specimens have inscriptions and CENTURY USA on windshield, and some do not have any inscriptions.
The last instance is particularly interesting and keeps the spirit of its former owner, an American soldier or officer who scratched on the body of his beloved name: «MY ETHEL DEAR».
