My Al Asher M-5H-6 Table Lighter...

Picked this up at a recent antique show for $5...

Typical slush casting in pot metal marked to manufacturer DODGE INC (ironic, huh?). Al Asher in Los Angeles is still in business and I'm guessing he was giving these out in the late 40s-50s from his surplus truck sales. I recognized the grill immediately... :D
