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 WWII, was produced for the US Army. It is made of steel and covered with a characteristic crackle coated green or brownish-gray color. Some specimens have inscriptions CENTURY and 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 the name of his beloved: «MY ETHEL DEAR».
