Long Description
I found this item at an antiques store earlier today and bought it for $10. It is a Navy lighter and on the top of the emblem it reads "no sanctuary in the deep". Under the emblem it also reads "patrol squadron 49. The bottom of the lighter has an engraving that reads "Super Ace". Any information about the lighter/ squadron would be much appreciated. Any info on the value of this item would also be much appreciated.Â
