Pan-Am Table Lighter by Cygnus

For much of the 20th century, Pan American Airways was the international air carrier, an innovative airline that was the first to fly worldwide routes, utilize jet aircraft, and upgrade to computerized reservation systems. From its humble beginnings in Florida in 1927 through to its dissolution in 1991, Pan-Am captured the American imagination, and indeed, the imagination of early international travelers across the entire world.

We’re not shy about our display of Pan-Am ephemera here at the Analog:Shift office. From the several books dedicated to the storied company stacked in the bookcase and vintage advertisements hung on our walls, to the aircraft sculptures and charming lighters stamped with the logo littered throughout, there’s no doubt that we adore everything that Pan Am represents, and the feeling of wanderlust that arises anytime the idea of travel crosses our mind. 

This super cool vintage find was is a gold plated Pan-Am oversized table lighter made in Japan by Cygnus in the 1960s. It features a slender rectangular body with a woven pattern flowing down its sides and the Pan- American wordmark along with the signature globe logo and jetliner along its narrow edge.

Accompanied by its original presentation box and measuring approximately 6” x 1” x 1/2“, it makes for the perfect stocking-stuffer for the aviation buff, GMT-Master fanatic, or for those who simply enjoy awesome vintage ephemera!
