Description from the seller
Vintage lighter "ROYAL CASINO" – Sports betting odds variant (1-X-2) – Japan, 1970s – NOS (New Old Stock)
✓ Exceptional mechanical gas lighter "Royal Casino", manufactured in Japan during the 1970s.
✓ This piece stands out for being an extremely scarce and coveted variant: unlike the usual models with a traditional casino roulette, this specimen incorporates a mechanical sports betting panel (marked with the characters 1, X, 2), ideal for football bets of the era (such as Quiniela or Totocalcio).
➜ Condition: NOS (New Old Stock) / New from old stock. Completely pristine, unused and without signs of wear. Retains the original black lacquer intact and the chrome and gold finishes with a factory mirror-bright shine.
➜ Mechanism: Features an internally fully functional roulette that spins freely at high speed when the side lever is actuated, stopping at random. High-precision Japanese micromechanics engineering.
➜ Operation: Tested and operational. Presents excellent sealing, the gas fill valve retains the fuel perfectly and offers a clean, stable and strong flame with immediate spark. A showroom piece in impeccable conservation state, very hard to find today in this deadstock condition.
✓ An absolute jewel for collectors of tobacciana and vintage sports memorabilia.
