Description
1950's - 1960's Vintage KKW Photo-Flash 35mm Camera Novelty Table Lighter, Japan
\
Here's a 1950's - 1960's vintage, "Photo-Flash" table lighter. This little novelty lighter is designed in the shape of a 35mm camera complete with tripod, compass and extended shutter button. The lighter is marked on bottom "K.K.W. PP 13449 JAPAN". The lighter is in overall, very good to excellent condition.
It appears that it has never been used.
The only flaw is with the extended shutter cable. The fabric covering the spring has frayed at the bottom.
