Lighter Century, 1942-1945
Name: Century
Type: Oil Lighters
Material: Steel
Year: 1942-1945

Lighter Century - fliptop typical of the Second World War, was produced for the U.S. Army. It was made of steel and coated with a characteristic surface crackle green or brownish-gray color. Some specimens are labeled and CENTURY USA on windshield, and some do not have any labels.
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».
