The Guinness Book of Records lists this Charles Lindbergh lighter as the most valuable in the world. The famous lighter cover features Charles Lindbergh, an American aviator who made history as the first pilot to fly nonstop from New York to Paris.
Lindbergh was a unique character, and despite having controversial views, no one can take away his achievements. He was not only an aviator but also a prolific author and inventor.
The match cover is dated June 14, 1927. The listed value of the match was US$ 100 in the 1950s, and as you can see, the price has only increased. In 2015, she was valued at US$6,000 at auction. Only 200 of these matchboxes were made. They were given to random guests at a party at the Astor Hotel in New York.
