Description from the seller
VINTAGE LIGHTER "ROYAL CASINO" – SPORTS FEVER VARIANT (1-X-2) – JAPAN, 1970s – NOS (NEW OLD STOCK)
✓ Exceptional gas mechanical lighter "Royal Casino", made 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 exemplar incorporates a mechanical sports betting quadrant (marked with the characters 1, X, 2), ideal for football betting of the era (such as Quiniela or Totocalcio).
➜ Condition: NOS (New Old Stock) / New from old stock. Completely impeccable, unused and with no signs of wear. Keeps the original black lacquer intact and the chrome and gold finishes with factory mirror shine.
➜ Mechanism: Features a fully functional inner roulette that spins freely at high speed when the side lever is operated, stopping at random. Japanese high-precision micromechanical engineering.
➜ Operation: Tested and operable. Exhibits excellent sealing, the gas fill valve holds the fuel perfectly and provides a clean, stable, and strong flame with an immediate spark. A showroom piece in impeccable condition, very hard to find today in this "deadstock" condition.
✓ An absolute jewel for collectors of tobacco-related items and vintage sporting objects.
