The Segawa Manufacturing Company of Japan (Sarome) produced the figural "Sarome Cruiser" lighter, circa 1966, designed to resemble a ship with various patterns and "bow" colors. This windproof version features a slotted windscreen, portholes, and a chrome finish with blue and ivory wrap printed on both sides with "M.V. Queen of Esquimalt," one of the original BC Ferries launched in the 1960s.

Marked "Sarome Cruiser" and "JAPAN," this 3¼" collectible is perfect for maritime and vintage lighter enthusiasts.
