Description from the seller
Set of 3 vintage vintage table lighters – 2 miner’s lamp solid brass sculptures and 1 ship wheel – France and USA
Description
Ensemble of three antique collectible table lighters, with original shapes, including two lighters representing miners’ lamps and a maritime-themed lighter in the shape of a ship’s wheel.
1. Ship wheel table lighter (COMPLETE - USA)
Silvered metal model, mounted on an expanded base and decorated with a ship wheel with eight handles.
The base bears the inscriptions “Made in U.S.A.,” “Fuel,” “Flint” and “Pat. Pend.”
The helm wheel turns and normally controls the opening of the lighter cap. However, the mechanism has play and does not reliably trigger the automatic opening of the cap. A mechanical inspection or restoration is needed.
The piece shows an antique patina, scratches and oxidation marks.
2. Miner’s lamp-shaped lighter – Brass and red section
Miniature brass lighter modeled on the silhouette of an old miner’s safety lamp, with a perforated top chimney and a red central section surrounded by metal posts.
It shows signs of use, an old patina and visible wear on the surfaces.
One opening is visible under the base, at the level of the area connected to the fuel reservoir. A screw or fixing cap could be missing. This point should be checked and repair may be necessary.
3. Miner’s lamp-shaped lighter – Brass and green section (COMPLETE - FRANCE)
Second miniature miner’s lamp model, slightly different shape, with a long brass body, a perforated chimney, a top ring and a green lower section.
A “Modèle Déposé – Made in France” mark is visible under one of the two lamp-lighters.
Lovely brass patina, with wear and oxidation marks consistent with its age.
Overall condition
The three lighters are offered in their current condition, without restoration.
They show signs of time: scratches, patina, small oxidation marks and wear to finishes.
Two points to note in particular:
* Possible missing screw or cap under the red-section lamp-lighter.
* Automatic opening mechanism of the ship-wheel lighter requiring inspection.
The photographs show the different elements, markings and defects observed.
The lighters have been stored without lighter fluid and without flint, to limit deterioration during storage. Plan for a mechanism check and, if necessary, restoration before any use.
