A chrome-plated lighter insert is recessed into the top of the lifebuoy. The reverse side of the lifebuoy body features the impressed characters JAPAN. Additionally, the side of the lighter mechanism arm is stamped with the characters JAPAN. The lighter mechanism appears complete but has not been tested for functionality. Dimensions: 4.5 in high.
