Technical Details and Condition:

Brand: Thorens
Origin: Switzerland (Switzerland / Fab. Suisse engraved on the base).
Era: Circa 1930.
Mechanism: Automatic claw system. The roller turns, providing the logical resistance of the internal spring, but it currently does not produce a spark (requires installation of a new flint or cleaning of the conduit due to calcification of the old stone).
Wick condition: Completely new, white and intact, unused.
Aesthetic condition: Good vintage condition with an authentic patina. The body shows wear and the typical marks on the chrome/silver finish due to its nearly 100 years of age, which gives it great historical character (see detailed photographs). The base markings are clearly legible.
