Art deco - Table lighter - Copper - (8)

Curated lot of eight authentic vintage lighters from the mid-20th century, dating approximately between the 1950s and 1970s. Acquired from a private collection, this ensemble represents a wide variety of decorative and functional designs, including figural table lighters and compact pocket models. All items are offered together as a single collectible lot.

The lot includes eight vintage copper lighters of different forms and sizes, produced during the golden age of lighter manufacturing. Materials are copper, believed to be solid based on weight and construction. Seven lighters have been tested and are mechanically functional, with working spark wheel and/or piezo ignition and gas release at the time of testing. One lighter, identified as the “Coppa Orientale”, is non-functional and intended as a decorative or display piece.

One lighter features clear and original MARLBORO branding, representing a period promotional item. Due to their age, the internal seals and gaskets cannot be guaranteed, even though functionality was verified and documented prior to sale. All lighters are shipped completely empty of gas in compliance with safety regulations.
