Interesting set of six antique collectible lighters, displaying a large variety of shapes, ignition systems and decorations.

Original lighter in yellow metal, probably brass, recreating the silhouette of an old boot.
It features a worked shape, a ratchet ignition system and several decorative details.

Antique circular lighter, with on its front a relief motif evoking a propeller.
Its golden-colored metal body gives it a handsome vintage presentation.
