WILLIE KOOL 1938 The Penguin Figural Bar And Table-Desk Electric Lighter
Located in Miami, FL
Willie Kool desk-table electric lighter.
This is a beautiful electronic bar or desk lighter, created as a promotional item by the Kool Cigarette Company, back in the 1938. The sculptural and elusive electric lighter has been crafted with the iconic figure of the company Willie Kool, in color plastic with parts in metal and fitted with a long electric cord. The figural penguin is in pretty very good shape, in working condition and should be a gorgeous addition to any collection. This will be a great conversation item.
Willie The Penguin
Willie the penguin was introduced in 1934 by The Ted Bates Advertising Agency. During the time there were several other cartoonish spokespersons like Kellog’s Snap, Crackle & Pop, Reddy Kilowatt, and the Campbell’s Kids. Willie’s product line included salt and pepper shakers, ash trays, holders for wooden matches, lighters, and when air-conditioning was introduced, a version was created to suggest customers to enter a storefront because it was “Kool” inside. It has also been debated that a picture of Willie wearing a top hat was the inspiration for the Penguin character in Batman. Regardless, Willie appeared in his own comic books after he was licensed by Standard Comics for six issues, with the cigarette brand dropped from the title. By the ’60s, however, the company had shifted advertising focus and opted for wintry outdoor scenes to promote their business. (Miller Fenwood with thanks)
Materials: Lacquered and color plastic, metal, electric cord and enamel.
Year: 1934-1940.
Weight: 1.5 Pounds, (0.68 Kg.).
Measurements: 89 mm by 114 mm by 223 mm (3.5 x 4.25 x 8.75 Inches).
Marks: "KOOL MILD MENTHOL CIGARETTES".
Note: This lighter is empty of any flammable, gas or butane substances and is ready to be ship by any carrier. This lighter just need a new flint and proper lighter fluid. Was tested and is in working condition.
Note: This is an electric novelty advertising lighter, is a very old vintage Tobacciana...

Kohn Pedersen Fox: Architecture & Urbanism, 1993-2002 by Ian Luna, 1st Ed Thus
Located in valatie, NY
Kohn Pedersen Fox: Architecture and Urbanism, 1993-2002 by Ian Luna and Kenneth Powell. Published by Rizzoli, 2003. 1st Ed hardcover with dust jacket. The fourth volume in a series of monographs celebrating the innovative architectural designs of the highly esteemed international firm. KPF initially distinguished itself through its attention to the most characteristic American building type, the skyscraper. The evolution of the tall tower is a key part of a sustainable paradigm in which individual buildings form part of a larger system of vertical centers linked by horizontal networks of public transportation. These "vertical cities" represent a sustainable model for future development where public transport is encouraged, land is conserved, and energy and water uses are reduced. KPF leads the way, creating enduring architecture with contextual sensitivity, flexibility of use, and care for the environment. KPF has achieved international stature, becoming the first firm to be a member of the United Nations Global Compact. This, the fourth volume of their work, explores their recent buildings in detail. The projects include buildings that have transformed the urban fabric...
