Tydol Veedol Gasoline Ships Wheel Cigarette Lighter

ITEM DESCRIPTION:

Produced by Brown and Bigelow for Tidewater Oil in the late 1940s or early 1950s, this rare Ship's wheel cigarette lighter is made out of diecast metal with a champagne colored brushed finish and decorated with the Tydol Veedol Gasoline Motor Oils logo, embossed on the center front. The lighter strikes by pushing down the top right handle. It measures about 4 1/4 inches tall by 4 1/4 inches wide with a 3 inch diameter base and is in excellent condition with minor light surface wear. The striker works fine, but it needs a new flint. 17112-81IP
