This is a butane lighter with keychain attachment I bought in Shenzhen China in 2003. The front has a gold prism-like design with the ribbons symbol and is printed "Beijing 2008" in black with "Candidate City" below it in red and also the Olympic rings symbol. The wording embossed in the silver plastic case around the center design is "ZHONGHUARENMINGONGHEGUO" and 2008. On the reverse case is the same wording with an embossed ribbons symbol and Olympic rings symbol. Purchased before Beijing was chosen as an Olympics host city.
