The piece is sold as a rare complete set, retaining its original mini brass brush used to clean the mechanism and the flint wheel.

Mechanism and Fuel: Classic mechanical gasoline (petrol) ignition system, equipped with wick and flint wheel. Important note: The lighter is functional, the flap slides freely, but due to safety regulations for transport and storage, it is not filled with gasoline.
