[pre-xk] 1950 Mark V Cigar Lighter

The cigar lighter I obtained has an opalescent darker green jewell
in the center. Mfg is smiths. Could this be correct? Roger
McWilliams lighter is opalescent/cloudy clear. Anyone know
definitively what is correct?

Thanks,

I would describe mine as cloudy clear. It’s usually called the owl’s eye
lighter. You have to hold it in until the element glows orange, which you
can see through the lens.
These things are subject to corrosion, I guess from the tobacco? Is it
possible the green you are seeing is corrosion on the other side?
