    Description

    Fine large cigarette lighter with a nice enamel crest from the US Marine Corps Association
    Japanese-made
    . This is a very high quality lighter, not a cheap Zippo knock-off. The Enamel finish is cloisonne.
    Cloisonné is a way of enamelling an object, (
    typically made of copper
    ) whereby fine wires are used to delineate the decorative areas (cloisons in French, hence cloisonné) into which enamel paste is applied before the object is fired and polished.
