Default cigarette lighter

My 69 Corvette has a Rochester style cigarette lighter housing but it's missing the lighter, is there a picture of what the original Rochester cigarette lighter looks like ? there are plenty of CASCO lighters on the internet but I can't seem to find any Rochester also would a 69 Camaro lighter fit the Corvette?

Thank you for any help

Most of the aftermarket providers carry C3 lighters. I'm not familiar with Camaro lighters, but it's possible they're the same.

To my knowledge, Corvettes always used a Casco lighter element and housing. I think the lighter element used in 1969 was the "CASCO 63". I'm not sure which housing was used in 69, but it was the same design housing as the "CASCO 1971". 67-76 Corvettes all used a CASCO 1971, or similar Casco housing. Below is a CASCO 1971 and it's retainer.
