Continental lighters were imported from Japan by Continental Merchandise Co. of New York in the mid-20th century, and this automatic lift-arm pocket model with a marbled grey wrap is a classic of that era. It's the kind of small tobacciana piece that vintage lighter collectors like to add to a desk tray, a shelf or a display case.

  • Marked CMC on the hinge bracket, CONTINENTAL (R) on the bottom plate and FUJI JAPAN on the fill screw.
  • Chrome-plated metal body with a marbled grey wrap, automatic lift arm and a textured thumb pad.
