Description from the seller

We present at auction an elegant Colibri-branded lighter, a classic-charm accessory perfect for collectors and connoisseurs of fine items.

The lighter’s structure is distinguished by its slender rectangular shape, entirely made of metal with a silver finish. The entire surface of the body and the upper cap is adorned with a refined guilloché work featuring a dense diamond-point pattern, a geometric texture that, in addition to ensuring a good tactile grip, creates a pleasant and luminous play of reflections. On the side stands out the operating mechanism, characterized by a solid cylindrical roller decorated with deep vertical grooves.

By lifting the cap, one can appreciate the careful detailing of the ignition block inside, on whose side a small decorative heraldic emblem is finely engraved. On the back of the device are clearly visible the Colibri brand inscription accompanied by an additional squared logo, the circular valve for refilling, and the slotted screw for maintenance.

The conservation state of this specimen is assessable as generally good, both aesthetically and mechanically. Technically, the lighter has been tested and the mechanism appears to be functioning; however, for obvious safety reasons related to transport, the item is sold and shipped empty, i.e., completely gas-free inside. Esthetically, as documented in the close-up photographs, there are slight and physiological signs deriving from normal prior use, including some micro-scratches on the smooth metal and light traces of oxidation or localized residues near the inner block and on the back cover.
