Windproof Lighter for Pan-Am by Penguin - NOS

Watch collecting is mostly about timepieces themselves, but surrounding these objects is a whole host of other items that are part and parcel of the same world. Jeweler's loupes to examine said timepieces, valet trays to hold one’s “pocket litter” (to use an old bit of espionage lingo), lighters to light up that occasional Cuban cigar…we love accessories, and our offices are littered with them. However, we couldn’t possibly keep all these objects to ourselves, which is why we’re offering some of the coolest vintage finds right here, just in time for holiday gifting — whether to a loved one, or to yourself!  Dating to the 1950s-1960s, this particular find is a Zippo-style Penguin windproof lighter signed with the Pan Am globe logo. Fashioned in stainless steel and including its original burgundy cardboard box, this Japanese-made object is truly a museum piece of a find. Whether you’re an aviation buff, a Rolex GMT-Master enthusiast, or you simply enjoy cool vintage ephemera, we’re telling you: Snag this lighter before someone beats you to the punch!
