USS PROVIDENCE CLG-6 Cigarette Lighter VIETNAM dated CHOATE 64-68 Penguin OLD
Hi! I love lighters! I keep buying them and every so often I get one that really stands out.I have single lighters and lots of Zippos and other metal lighter brands as well!
Brand: Penguin
Subject Matter: USS Providence CLG-6
New or used? Used
Custom marking: Lighter was owned and is engraved....
LT D.W.Choate
ENG-OPS Dept
May 64-Feb68
With the USS Providence emblem on one side, and the ship on the other.
Damage: Very little. Lighter is used, but flints nicely. Minor wear otherwise. Completely functioning lighter!
Please note. The most wonderful part of this lighter is the history that is available about the man it belonged to. If you Google Tara Choate (the servicemember's daughter) and the ship you'll get some GREAT photos, and some GREAT history on the ship, and the owner of this lighter. It's emotional if you have a connection to a servicemember, or served yourself. We have a lot of men & women who answer the call, and this lighter tells just a little part of a story and a time that is fading. I have had people contact me with special connections to certain ships, people, and history on things I sell. If that is true for you, please let me know.
All my lighters show wear of some kind. None of them are "Minty out of the box" style lighters. Each shows some use, so please look at the photos and ask questions before you hit the Buy It Now. Every lighter I list in these individual lighter auctions lit on the first strike, or second.All are in working order unless otherwise noted. Thank you!
