Cartier - Trinity - Lighter - Steel, Gold-plated

A0000003429

The lighter is in very good overall condition, with an elegant appearance that is consistent with its age.

The satin-finished body shows surface micro-scratches and light signs of wear, visible under direct light, typical of careful use over time. No structural damage, deformations, or significant material loss are observed. The edges retain good definition.

The upper Trinity ring maintains its integrity and proper alignment, with light and uniform wear commensurate with the passage of years, without cracks or structural damage.

The signed base 'Cartier Paris' with a serial number remains legible. It shows small superficial marks resulting from support and handling.

The mechanism opens and closes correctly, with good tension on the lid.
(If not proven: add “No guarantee of operation as it has not been tested with a recent gas charge” if you prefer to cover yourself professionally).

Clean interior, no visible corrosion.

Overall, it is an honest, original piece with no obvious restorations, featuring a light, attractive patina that confirms its vintage authenticity.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for its proper preservation.

Good auction!
