Description
This is an original WWII U.S. cardstock box and instructions for "The Windy" lighter manufactured by Matawan Lighter Company, Inc. of Matawan, New Jersey. Due to wartime scarcity, Matawan, along with others like Zippo and Berkeley, produced lighters with black crackle finishes (as opposed to pre-war nickel and polished brass). These wartime lighters would have originally been marketed with such a box and instructions, making this a must have for the discerning collector looking to complete their lighter.
