Vintage Collectible FLAMINAIRE Quercia Lighter – Made in France (1960s–1970s)

For sale: a vintage FLAMINAIRE gas lighter, an authentic collectible manufactured in France between the 1960s and 1970s under the license of the renowned inventor Marcel Quercia (a global pioneer of butane gas lighters).

The lighter features a minimalist, elegant rectangular design with a chrome-plated metal body and a distinctive small-checkered textured finish (hobnail/grid pattern).

Features and technical details:

Guaranteed authenticity: The base of the lighter is clearly stamped with the original markings: "FLAMINAIRE," "MADE IN FRANCE," and the official "Quercia" logo within a curved cartouche.

Ingenious mechanism: A historic model featuring a sliding opening system. It retains the original internal brass cartridge (the revolutionary "Bi-charge" system) along with the original instruction label in French.

Aesthetic condition: Very good for its age, showing normal signs of wear that enhance its vintage charm (no major dents or deep scratches). The casing is clean and shiny.

Functional condition: Sold as a historic collectible/display piece. (Note: The flint mechanism is functional and produces a spark). The internal brass reservoir is the original period piece (it is no longer refilled, as these disposable cartridges are no longer in production). A superb, rare piece for enthusiasts of vintage tobacco accessories and collectors of 20th-century mechanical objects, or an excellent choice for a distinctive gift with a retro feel.
