The set carries the slogans \"Pan Am Goes National,\" \"Texas to the World,\" and \"Oklahoma Sooner on Pan Am,\" alongside the Pan Am globe logo and a cartoon cowboy mascot riding a Pan Am jet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Pan Am Goes National\" was the official slogan of Pan American World Airways' 1980 acquisition of National Airlines — the merger that gave Pan Am its first U.S. domestic route network. The phrase carries a deliberate double meaning: the airline going nationwide, and the absorption of National itself. Texas and Oklahoma were strongholds of National's former domestic network, which Pan Am promoted with regional slogans and a cowboy mascot. Items from this campaign are held in the collection of the Pan Am Historical Foundation museum, and complete surviving sets are uncommon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach lighter is molded on the base \"Feudor — Made in France — Bte S.G.D.G.\" A flame-adjustment slider is set into the metal cap. Markings are clear across all four pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach lighter measures approximately 3 in tall. The set ships packed at 7 × 5 × 3 in, total weight 1 lb including packaging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: expected wear consistent with age.
