Mid Century Chrome B-29 Superfortress Airplane Table Lighter by Hamilton

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.

Dimensions: : 6" W x 5" L x 1 1/2" H
