K.K.W. Camera Lighter, 1948

Hi Godders,
 
                      Today I bring you a strange but kind of cool historical lighter from the 1940's that was found on a construction job, it was placed in storage and stayed there for 10 years until...... This year.
 
 The K.K.W. Camera Lighterwas first manufactured in 1948 in Occupied Japan. Primely it was available as a wick lighter - in 1958 the butane version of the lighter was introduced and manufactured till the end of the 1960s. The camera lighter was available with a compass on front and without which was a cheaper version. 
 
I have this lighter, me iDavie.

i found this lighter in the office at work while clearing out my belongings, it didn't work but it looked ... Dated ... Old, in need of a restore. 
 
It is for sure one of the best examples of Japanese craftsmanship. It is very well detailed and the materials used are good quality. The shutter button works the lighter and it can be locked by using the red button on the front which is marked open - lock. Spare flints can be kept under the large nurled knob on top.

Marked on the bottom of the camera lighter:
 
K.K.W
P.P 
13449 
 
On the earlier wick lighter version the camera and the tripod were marked:
 
Made in Occupied Japan


The plastic cover was marked: Peace-Gas (gas lighter) or Photo-Flash (wick lighter) 

Type: gas (butane) lighter & wick (petrol) lighter

Scarcity: commonuncommon

Lighters this old at quite rear so I have decided to hang on to it for a little while longer.
