There is a little something on eBay right now that is clearly from another time: a time when smoking a cigarette wasn’t socially more unacceptable than being a convicted felon.<\/p>\n

This vintage, saxophone-shaped cigarette lighter is most definitely from a simpler time. It’s from a time when the Marlboro Man<\/a> was still the epitome of ruggedness, and when women were told “You’ve come a long way, baby”<\/a>, when they choose Virginia Slims.<\/p>\n

The seller of this little retro gem describes the item like this:<\/p>\n

very unusual saxophone lighter.<\/p>\n

very detailed, unsigned….. I think it may be from a MARLBORO Promotion??<\/p>\n

I dont really know much about lighters. It is a push down and clicks…. the fire comes out of the mouth of sax. needs fluid very good shape, some minor wear….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ah, no to the Marlboro promotion. No to promotions in general. A promotional lighter would have a company name on it.<\/p>\n

This is just a regular cigarette lighter that happens to be in the shape of a saxophone. Rather interesting for us who play the sax, and happen to be into saxophone collectibles.<\/p>\n
