Cigarette and Pipe Lighter

[bmsm]

While digging thru my drawer the other day, I came across a pair of lighters that was given to me when leaving the Air Base in South Vietnam. It;s hard to believe that it has been 40 + years ago.

The first lighter is from Phu Cat Airbase. It uses propane gas, still has it's original box and is made by Zaima. It even has the filling instructions which says"Be sure to keep away from fire when refilling". The adapter to refill the lighter is missing.

Very nice - I had a Zippo with all my Bases engraved on it - someone stole it before I made it home.
