Description: Vintage New in Original Box Bowers Storm Master Lighter. Made approx 1955. Never Used. Vintage advertising for Harvey Aluminum. Harvey Aluminum was an outgrowth of the Harvey Machine Co., which was founded by Leo Harvey in Los Angeles in 1914. At the start, it made everything from corsage pins to racing cars. Later it turned to making special machinery, and by World War II was the biggest such manufacturer on the West Coast. In 1955 the US Government, which wanted to increase aluminum capacity outside the Big Three, guaranteed a $40 million bank loan to Harvey. To assure Harvey a market, the Government also agreed to buy up to 54,000 tons a year for five years, beginning in 1959, of Harvey’s primary aluminum output for U.S. strategic stockpiles. In 1970, Martin-Marietta acquired the facility from Harvey Aluminum and continued aluminum processing operations until 1984.
