My late uncle received this lighter as an employee gift from Datsun Australia when he worked for them back in the 70s.

I've looked pretty hard and can't find any other evidence of one existing.

It's made by Penguin but is a copy of the expensive DuPont Windsor.

I'm guessing it's kinda rare. I can't see a single other example of Penguin even making that model of lighter.

I reckon maybe Datsun spoke with Penguin who are also Japanese and got them to produce a few of these in the classic DuPont style for a select few employees 🤷‍♂️

My uncle worked for Datsun Australia back in the 1970s and received this lighter as an employee gift.

It's made by Penguin and obviously has a very close resemblance to a Dupont Windsor but I can't find anything about it.

This thing sat on the shelf for 50 years since my uncle died due to a massive heart attack, probably from the smokes. I chucked in some new flint and gas and it works beautifully. No leaks, nothing.
