Description from the seller

1950's Dunhill agate/Onyx lighter

This specimen is a 1950's model that heralded the incorporation of agate/Onyx bodies in table lighters. This innovation endowed them with remarkable stability on a surface, and a highly tangible sensation in hand. They acquire a more sculptural aesthetics, serving as ornamental items in their own right. The body adopts a 'watermelon' patterned agate.
Mechanism hinge screw and spark wheel are missing,
The flint holder cap is missing.
