Vintage IBELO MONOPOL Collector's Lighter – Made in West Germany – Protocol Edition (60s)

Description:

I am selling an original Ibelo Monopol collector's lighter, a superb piece of history made in the former West Germany during the 1950s-1960s. It is an ideal object for both tobacconists and those attracted to historical relics from the Cold War period.

Renowned brand: Ibelo (Frankfurt), historically recognized alongside Colibri for its premium high-precision mechanisms.

Ingenious mechanism: Classic petrol system with a completely removable metal insert from the housing.

Elegant design: Solid chrome-plated metal housing, decorated with fine geometric striations in the shape of a diamond (diamond cut pattern).

Special edition with historical value: The case bears the original emblem of the West German trade union IG Chemie-Papier-Keramik, a rare piece offered as a premium protocol item at the time.

Authenticity marking: The flat case back is stamped with the official cursive Ibelo logo and the historical text "Made in West Germany".

Technical and aesthetic condition:

Aesthetic: In excellent visual condition for its age. The chrome layer is shiny, without peeling or deep scratches (kept in ideal conditions).

Mechanical: The articulated upper lever works perfectly. The internal mechanism is complete, clean and ready to use (only requires the installation of a standard flint and the supply of dedicated gasoline).
