Mid-century Novelty "M.V. Queen of Esquimalt" Cruise ship Enameled Lighter

About the Item

Mid-century Sarome 'Cruiser' lighter, shaped like a Cruise ship, features a chrome body enameled red and crème accents and "M.V. Queen of Esquimalt" lettering. It includes a thumb striker, a windproof mechanism, and decorative portholes. The underside is marked "Sarome Cruiser," with "JAPAN" stamped on the chrome side. It includes three base screws: one for flint replacement and two for adding fuel. Comes with the original Sarome box. The Segawa Manufacturing Company of Japan (Sarome) produced the figural "Sarome Cruiser" lighter, circa 1966, designed to resemble a ship with various patterns and "bow" colors. This windproof version features a slotted windscreen, portholes, and a chrome finish with blue and ivory wrap printed on both sides with "M.V. Queen of Esquimalt," one of the original BC Ferries launched in the 1960s. Marked "Sarome Cruiser" and "JAPAN," this 3¼" collectible is perfect for maritime and vintage lighter enthusiasts.
