Hadson Blue Bird, 1950
Manufacturer: Hadson
Title: Hadson Blue Bird
Type: musical gasoline lighter
Material: copper, brass
Year: 1950
Country: Japan
Approximate cost: $ 30-100
This is one of the very popular in the 1950s, the Japanese musical lighters Hadson. Arranged it quite interesting: the mechanism inside it, equipped with the factory and stop (lever at the top of the winding key). In this case, when you press the ignition insert extends from the pin, which removes the musical mechanism with stopper - so if you have a factory in the mechanism, the melody begins to play with herself ignition flame. Self musical mechanism preloaded metal plate which abuts against the inside of the housing. The body is made from a fairly light alloy and is like a resonator for the music box - the volume lighters big enough (and the mechanism separately, being removed from the body, plays a very quiet).
Of particular value to this instance gives also engraved: it belonged to an officer with the US air base Kadena on Okinawa, and not merely an officer and a member of the officers' club.
