Description from the seller

We present a fascinating and rare pocket lighter from a bygone era, a true testimony to the refinement and mechanical engineering of the first half of the 20th century. The body is finely worked with an elegant vertical guilloché pattern that creates a pleasant play of light and a firm, distinctive grip.

Made in silver with the '900' hallmark clearly visible on the base, this piece combines the prestige of noble metal with the robustness of a daily-use object from the golden age of collecting.

Technical features and details:
Material: 900 silver case (stamped on the base).
Workmanship: Vertical guilloché engraving with finely decorated details along the surface.
Mechanism: Semi-automatic piston/press mechanism. The circular button press lifts the cap-stopper to facilitate ignition.
Fuel: Gasoline / lighter fluid.
Base: Equipped with a large knurled brass/gold-toned screw for reloading and replacing the flint.
Condition: Excellent original cosmetic condition with a natural patina of time that highlights its authenticity and historical value. No aggressive cleaning has been performed to preserve its vintage charm.
