Description from the seller

Brand: Mc Murdo

​Type: Petrol Lighter

​Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom / England

​Condition: Used (Fully Working)

​Era: 1940s / 1950s

​Design: Hexagonal / Diamond shape with textured leather wrap

Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible vintage McMurdo petrol pocket lighter, proudly stamped "Made in England" with Patent No. 590958.

​This classic mid-century lighter features a distinct hexagonal/diamond-shaped brass body elegantly wrapped in its original textured brown leather (or high-quality faux leather) casing, giving it a fantastic rugged, tactile feel.

​Fully Working: Unlike many vintage lighters found today, this piece sparks easily and lights up beautifully with a strong, steady flame (as seen in the photos).

​Cosmetics: In lovely vintage condition with a gorgeous natural patina on the brass elements. The leather wrapping shows minor authentic wear consistent with age, adding to its historic charm.

​Mechanism: The striking wheel, snuffer cap, and fuel/flint screws on the bottom are all intact, original, and turn smoothly.

This products shipment will be insured
