Got this lighter
Full working clock and lighter.
The makers mark say KOYO. However I can't find much online about it.
Can anyone help .
There is picture of a crown inside the lid .
Help needed. Ie is this a good rare lighter or total junk.
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.
Gillian, my spell check was off. The word is crown.
My bad England
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.
