Aluminum Block Lighter

c. late 1940s - early 1950s. Another identical lighter is listed as the Chi Chi Club lighter as it was produced specifically for them. This blank lighter and the USNC lighter were also undoubtedly produced by the same unidentified company as they are identical in every other way.
