One of the more unusual items of
Chinese Export Silver - a Zippo lighter
that has been bespoke customised by
Pao Cheng “VMF218 The Hellions” for
one of the Corsairs that flew in China in
1946. The Astronaut John Glenn was in
the same squadron!
An otherwise mundane pin tray [below]
made in the Tsingtao workshop is
rendered into a small masterpiece.
