Description from the seller

lotto comprised of 9 vintage lighters, ideal for collectors, fans of mid-century modern design, and connoisseurs of vintage smoking objects. The collection encompasses an interesting variety of styles, materials, and mechanisms dating from the 20th century.

Highlighted in the lot:
Ronson "Smoking Cures Kippers!": Iconic yellow lighter signed Ronson with playful and distinctive advertising graphics and wording, a true collectible piece highly sought after.
Tombelli: Elegant lighter with black protective leather case, characterized by a refined front decorative plaque with gold details and a figurative emblem (profile with a classic/philosophical flair).
Lighter clad in faux crocodile/snake skin: A piece with exotic, retro charm, featuring gold-tone metal finishes.
Bottle-shaped or planks-shaped lighter in wood/metal: An unusual and creative design reminiscent of a small barrel.
Engraved and satin-finished metal lighters: Classic specimens with elegant floral engravings and geometric striped motifs typical of the golden age of pocket and table lighters.
Transparent/smoke lighter: A model with a body in transparent plastic material that reveals the internal mechanisms.
Cylindrical lighter on chain / pendant: A small pocket or purse lighter with a connecting ring, practical and original.
Conditions:
The items are presented in generally good to fair vintage condition, with the usual signs of time, surface wear, and original patinas that attest to their authenticity and history. Mechanical conditions (spark, fling, or gas/stone ignition) have not been tested individually; therefore, the lot is sold as "collectible / untested," ideal for display as well as for any amateur restoration work.
