ceramic electric cigar lighter circa 1930
« on: July 15, 2010, 04:15:31 pm »
I have what appears to be a ceramic cigar lighter it has a button on the side and on the bottom it appears to have double diamond mfg mark with s's in the diamonds with the letters I think are  H.E.P.C.  APP No. 5851     

If anyone can tell me more about this it would be greatly appreciated.... tks

Here are a few images of the lighter.

Nothing more than what you already have there.  These were popular in the early 1930's.
