Scripto Butane Advert Lighter for CITGO Petroleum Corp. Gas Oil USA Vintage Unfired Circa 1970
Measurements:
2 9/16” x 13/8” x 7/16”
Weight: 2.13 oz. (60 g)
This vintage Scripto lighter is in excellent, unfired condition. It has only a few slight signs of age and handling including a tiny spot of deteriorated finish on the back next to the hinge.
Clicks nicely on opening and closing. Lid fits a slight fraction high on the open side (see last pic).
Striker rolls and sparks well but needs a fill of butane to work.
The striker unit lifts out to access the fill port.
From Google I learned that CITGO started out in 1965: I estimate this lighter was made circa 1970.
A very nice find for someone!
