Two Vintage Golf-Themed Pocket Lighters - 1957 Virginia C.C. & a Gabe Lighter
This lot consists of two vintage pocket lighters featuring decorative elements related to golf.
The first is a Ronson Adonis model squeeze-action lighter constructed from gold-toned metal. The front side features an applied circular emblem with a blue enamel border for the Southern California Golf Association. Engraved below the emblem is the text VIRGINIA C.C. 1957 SUNDAY TEAM CHAMPIONS. The reverse side bears an engraved cursive signature that appears to read H. B. Meckier. The second is a squeeze-trigger pocket lighter with a chrome-plated metal body. It is finished with a decorative celluloid wrap featuring two-sided golf imagery. One side shows an illustration of a vintage golf bag and clubs, and the other side depicts a golfer mid-swing dressed in a yellow sweater and blue trousers. The base contains a circular globe logo with the name Grabe, along with the marking JAPAN and functional text near the screws.
