Hello,

I have a 1936 Toyota type AB 4-door phaeton Lighter. The model was used as a cigarette carrier and also has a re-fillable lighter built into the car. When you push down on the steering wheel the flame comes up out of the hood.

I just got this from a client at work today... I work at a Toyota dealership. My client told me that this is a very rare piece. I have looked online but was unable to find any similar to this and was just wondering if anyone had any information about its value and a little bit of hstory.

Cheers!

I normally don't collect tobacco memorabilia but that is too cool. It does'n't look very old but does have a lot of detail for that type of an item.

Are there any markings on the bottom of the car or on the box?

I uploaded some more pictures of the only markings on the box :)

thanks!

Hey kenbartz

I see that this is quite an old post but was wondering if you found out anything about the model?

Just found 3 unopened in my grandmas basement while cleaning it out.

Thanks for any information
