Description from the seller

Thank you for viewing this piece. This lighter represents a classic expression of Cartier’s understated elegance from the 1970s. The finely engraved gold-plated body features a uniform geometric texture that reflects light subtly, giving the surface depth without excess ornamentation. Its tall, slim profile feels balanced and refined in the hand, emphasizing vertical lines that enhance its architectural presence.

The lid opens smoothly, revealing a clean and functional ignition assembly, and when lit, the flame stands straight and calm—an indication of the precision typical of Cartier lighters from this era. Free of decorative inlays, this model relies purely on proportion, texture, and craftsmanship, making it a timeless and versatile example suitable for both collection and display.

[Appearance]
The lighter shows surface scratches, small scuffs, and wear to the gold plating, particularly along edges, corners, and the interior of the lid, consistent with age and use. The engraved pattern remains sharp and well-defined overall. Interior discoloration and spotting are visible, typical for vintage lighters.
All engravings, including “Cartier Paris,” “Plaque Or G,” and the serial number 31908E, are clear and legible.
Please refer carefully to the photos for detailed condition.
