1954 Post-Korean War 7th Inf. Div. Postal Staff Lighter by Wellington

1954, just post-Korean War 7th Infantry Division Postal Staff Lighter, Japanese-made by Wellington. The lighter displays the unofficial 7th Division Bayonet Charge Badge and above it reads: "APO-7" and below: "KOREA 1954". The reverse shows an outline of the country with a winged envelope in the center that reads: "POSTAL STAFF" and above reads: "KOREA - JAPAN"

Circa 1954

Approximately 2 ¼" x 1 ½"

Gilt brass, enamel, chrome plated brass, cotton

Hinge

"BOX 1064 WELLINGTON TOKYO JAPAN"

This is from a lighter collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAEM15 LAAEX7/15 SAAEX11/16

4+ (Very Good): The lighter shows moderate to heavy wear, the hinges are beginning to separate (see photo), but does not inhibit the function of the lid, much of the chrome plating remains, nearly all the gilt and enamel details are fully intact.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
