Master Lite Pocket Lighter
Self-starting catalytic lighter. Typically the lighters have no brand name on them. Chrome over brass and brass finishes. c. 1910 through late 1920s. MasterLite did produce many other products (bottle openers, 'Sticktite' coat hangers, Radio gas lighters [for stoves], Mushroom light bulb, etc.) which were sold direct, just as the lighters were, after the lighters were apparently no longer being sold. In the late 1920s MasterLite was also selling Lift Arm style lighters. ![More Info](../images/i-button-3.gif)
