Can you tell me what a "grown" is? I looked everywhere, even on AliExpress (ssssshhh), and nothing to be found, so it could be quite rare.

All I can find is Toyo Seiko who are a manufacturing company that made sewing machines from about 1900 and then began making air conditioners and car parts.
The font used on the old sewing machines is very similar to on this lighter but it may not be the same company.

All I could for the name KOYO is a reference to the man who was called Mansei Koyo who submitted the second patent for lighter in Japan 1964.
