Nice! Sounds like an adventure. When I was young my father had lighters similar to those you mention . I thought they were the coolest . Thanks for looking . If you happen mention or hear anything on this picture ,I would appreciate if you could drop me a line. It is proving to be a challenge .
The apple logo is too exactly like the Apple computer logo to be a coincidence. I think it had to have been lifted by some digital graphics designer unconcerned with copyright infringement – I imagine in one of the countries that also churn out fake Adidas and Coach Bags. A Google search shows the monochrome apple logo was adopted in 1998. ELT Lighting, which made the ballast, has been around for about ten years and is located in China.
Still, it’s kind of cool in a kitschy sort of way, regardless of age.
