E279. INERT WWII MKII HAND GRENADE MODIFIED TO BE A DESK LIGHTER. THE SOLID BOTTOM BODY IS MADE BY BURNHAM BOILER AND MARKED WITH “BB” TO THE SIDE. THE BOTTOM IS MARKED “20”. I BELIEVE ONLY BURNHAM BOILER MANUFACTURED GRENADE BODIES HAD NUMBERS STAMPED ON THE BOTTOM. RETAINS ABOUT 40% OF THE ORIGINAL OD PAINT. THE THROAT HAS BEEN BORED OUT SMOOTH. THE FUSE SPOON’S INK MARKINGS HAVE WORN OFF, BUT BLACK PAINT REMAINS ON THE TIP. THE BOTTOM OF THE FUSE HAS ALSO BEEN BORED SMOOTH. A SMALL LIGHTER WOULD BE INSERTED INTO THE BODY WITH THE FUSE ACTING AS A CAP. I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FIND A CORRECT SIZED LIGHTER, SO IT IS DISPLAYED WITH A ROLLED UP PIECE OF PAPER HOLDING THE TWO PIECES TOGETHER. TOTALLY FILLED WITH AN INERT SUBSTANCE AND CAN NEVER BE USED AS A GRENADE AGAIN. SOLD AS A CIGARETTE LIGHTER DISPLAY PIECE ONLY. GUARANTEED ORIGINAL.
