Description from the seller
Vintage Park Lighter - B.P.O.E. Elks Fraternal Memorabilia - Commemorative Slim Lighter (1950s/1960s)
Description:
A rare mid-century collectible flip-top lighter, manufactured by the historic American brand Park Industries (formerly Park Sherman Co.). This elegant slim-profile model features a gold-tone plated finish with a textured, honeycomb geometric pattern on the upper lid.
The front of the lighter features the official emblem of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (B.P.O.E.), beautifully printed in their symbolic purple color. The graphics commemorate the Rome Lodge 96 from New York and the 19th Annual N.Y.S. Elks Bowling Tournament. The emblem includes the traditional Elks clock frozen at 11 o'clock (The Hour of Recollection).
The bottom of the lighter is clearly stamped with the authentic vintage maker's mark:
