hi chris, looking at the info on the directions leads me to believe that dunhill had an american operation going at the time. the lighter was made in the u.s. (patent pending) and you are urged to smoke ' dunhill american mixture smoking tobacco'.. hi lorenzo, nothing on the bottom. all of the markings are on the sides or rear of the tin. i can provide a view of the company logo in a few..
here is something that my uncle gave me years ago. it belonged to my great-uncle. family gossip is that he was an 'enforcer' during the early part of the last century. anyone familiar with the imagery depicted on the side of the ring? here's the front:
shame on you!!! that's chief seattle's daughter (an indian princess) the entire thing is full of images from seattle's past. landmarks, symbols, etc. really nice piece of history.
well, since it is mid-afternoon on a saturday i decided to walk to the corner market for a coupla bottles of beer. i passed a few yard sales, and i scored these (as well as some j.w. dundee honey brown lager): three WW2 service lighters in the boxes with the paper instructions!
ummm...1999ish? portland, oregon--old OMSA member and very kind man who went by the name of John Woolaston. he was a ww2 vet who remained over there for 20 years or so. he had an amazing collection.
this really wasn't that long ago. after viewing some of the insane prices these days, i'm afraid that this hobby has become too rich for my blood. sigh...
