Description
This is an original WWII U.S. lighter insert. With "The Windy" marked on its chimney, this insert would have originally been found in a black crackle finish 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). This a must have for the discerning collector looking to complete their lighter.
Provenance
Private Collection, Locust Grove, Oklahoma
Condition Report
This lighter insert is in excellent, unfired condition. It will require a flint and fluid to function.
