Mister Merry’s Play Lighter

History Daily

In case you haven’t noticed, vintage toy makers were highly obsessed with smoking! This 59 cent toy named “Play Lighter” comes with a pack of Philip Morris commander cigarettes, a lighter and what looks to be refillable fluid. It doesn’t matter that they aren’t the real thing, the fact that the instructions plainly say “press wheel to light bulb” only indicates that lighting cigarettes was meant to be fun! If these kids grew up preoccupied with lighting things up, it should really come as no surprise to anyone.
