Description from the seller

Brand: Parker (Alfred Dunhill)

Model: Beacon

Country of Origin: France

Type: Lift-arm petrol lighter

Material: Silver-plated

Up for sale is a stunning example of early 20th-century luxury: a Parker Beacon lift-arm petrol lighter. Parker was the esteemed subsidiary of Alfred Dunhill, and this particular piece carries the highly desirable "Alfred Dunhill Paris" and "Fabrication Française" hallmarks on the base.

This lighter features a classic Art Deco vertical ribbed (pinstripe) design. The "lift-arm" mechanism is a hallmark of early high-end lighters, offering a tactile and elegant way to strike a light.

Mechanical: Fully tested and in perfect working order. The arm lifts smoothly, and the sparking mechanism is strong.

Cosmetic: In excellent vintage condition with a beautiful natural patina. There are minor signs of use consistent with its age, which add to its authentic character (please see high-resolution photos for details).

Hallmarks: Clearly stamped on the base with "Parker", "Alfred Dunhill Paris", and "Fabrication Française". Also includes the patent/serial number: 69727

This products shipment will be insured
