Mid-century Sarome 'Cruiser' lighter, shaped like a Cruise ship, features a chrome body enameled red and crème accents and "Marine Ship & Supply" lettering. It includes a thumb striker, a windproof mechanism, and decorative portholes. The Segawa Manufacturing Company of Japan (Sarome) produced approximately eleven different lighter models in the 1950s and 1960s, including this figural "Sarome Cruiser," circa 1966. Designed to resemble a ship, the Cruiser featured various patterns and "bow" colors, with this version being the "windproof" model.
It includes a slotted windscreen to shield the wick and decorative portholes along the sides of the thumb striker. Marked "Sarome Cruiser" and "JAPAN," this 3¼" collectible is perfect for maritime and vintage lighter enthusiasts.
