Highly sought after among collectors, this vintage Cartier lighter with its brushed metal finish and gold-tone roller is a rare early model that often draws strong attention when it appears on the market. Its minimalist oval silhouette and Swiss-made precision make it especially appealing for Cartier enthusiasts and vintage lighter collectors. Authenticity The base is engraved with “Cartier – Paris – Swiss Made” along with the serial number “21184 X,” confirming it as an authentic vintage Cartier lighter. Appearance The lighter displays a brushed metal exterior with visible wear from age and use, including scratches, scuffs, small edge dings, and minor plating wear on corners. The gold-tone roller shows typical vintage rubbing but retains its form and color. The original Cartier red box is included and shows age-related discoloration on the inner lining. Please review the photos for a detailed condition assessment. Functionality I performed a simple ignition check, but the flame was extremely small and did not increase in size even when turning the adjustment screw. As with all vintage lighters, a professional overhaul is recommended for long-term use. Any functions not mentioned above are untested and not covered by warranty. Accessories Everything shown in the photos is included.
