Cigarette Lighter and Ashtray Kansas City, MO **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.

It’s not perfect, but is a good price.

“Solid aluminum cigarette lighter. Lighter on the hood, cigarette holder under roof. Has attachable trailer that is an ashtray.

This item made by Ges-Gesch, a German company, & was made right after WWII & only sold on U.S. Army bases in Germany.

These aren’t real rare but seldom come on market because sought after by tobacco item collectors.
Trailer tires are missing but in good shape & still displays really well.”
