An Auer lighter with an image that looks like Earl Moran's images based on photos of Marilyn Monroe. From the late 1940's era the model looks to me to be Marilyn. This is somewhat of a mystery, I got the lighter sometime in the 1980's from a antique store. Probably just a shade over 2 inches in height, it is hard to photograph, so I scanned it. The only marks on it are the Auer stamp on the bottom and Japan.
