ARTIFACT: Vietnam Era lighter by ATCO featuring the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) El Toro Insignia and dated: "3/15/72". The lighter features the etched names of a young couple "DEBI + LENNY" and the classic early 70's sentiment: "LOVE IS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOUR (sic) SORRY". I wonder where Debi and Lenny are now?

VINTAGE: Circa Vietnam Era.

SIZE: Approximately 2-1/4" x 1-1/2".

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Hand engraved, chrome plated brass and enamel.

ATTACHMENT: N/A.

MARKINGS: "ATCO JAPAN" on bottom of lighter case; "35" on cartridge.
