Cigarette Lighter Question?
I'm a bit of pack rat when it comes to collecting items from the USS Independence CV(A)-62.
I've just picked up a ROTHCO Lighter with the ship's logo on it. Question is how do I go about finding a date of it's manufacture? I couldn't find a web site for ROTHCO. Thanks in advance.

Hawk,
To the best of my knowledge Rothco lighters were made by Zippo. Maybe these websites can help: http://www.rothco.com/general/index....01&subcatid=94 http://www.zippo.com/main.aspx?referral=&referralURL=

Hawk,
Dont know how to find the date of manufacture, but this is a little hint. If the Hinge is on the inside when you open it, vice the outside. Hold to it, it is worth alot of $$$, there arent many made that way by Zippo. reeb..... BTW, did you pull the cotton stuff out of it and look for a date serial no.
