Item Description
1.75" tall nice quality enameled metal. Promotional piece for jobbers and retailers. c. 1957. One side features Bazooka w/text "Young America's Favorite" while the other side shows "Blony" w/text "Sugar 'N' Spice...'N' Everything Nice." Blony was originally Gum Inc. and then later Bowman's largest selling gum. Topps purchased the assets of Bowman in 1956 and in 1957 began issuing it's own version of the brand as seen here. There is a version of this lighter for just Bazooka, this two product version is much rarer. Lt. wear but Exc. and comes w/original generic box.
