Authentic Mk II “Pineapple” Grenade Cigarette Lighter — Inert, Littlestown Foundry Marked
This cigarette lighter is built from an authentic inert WWII-era Mk II hand grenade body, cast iron with the classic segmented “pineapple” surface. The casing is clearly maker-marked with an “L” inside a diamond, identifying Littlestown Foundry as the manufacturer — a detail important to collectors of U.S. ordnance.
The body retains period patina and surface wear consistent with storage and handling. The unit has been rendered inert and repurposed as a cigarette lighter, offering both functional novelty and historical provenance for display. Because it began life as a genuine Mk II body, it presents the correct form, weight, and maker identification that appeal to ordnance and militaria enthusiasts.
Offered for display or as a conversation piece; verify inert status and comply with local regulations before purchase or transport.
