Post-war desktop airplane lighter modeled after the B-29 Superfortress used heavily in WWII. This lighter possesses a chrome plated metal body and modernist design. The lighter is unique in that it is a slightly more literal interpretation of the original aircraft it was modeled after in contrast to most table lighters of its day. Upon turning the propeller, the top opens and ignites a burning flame.
Silver, unmarked. Only marking reads "Made in Occupied Japan"
Manufactured by Hamilton.
