Description from the seller
A lovely vintage Cartier lighter with a smooth silver-tone finish, softly rounded edges, and a small Cartier signature on the lid. I really like the simple metal texture and the little signs of use. With its classic red Must de Cartier presentation box, this is an appealing set for collectors who enjoy understated designs.
[Appearance]
This vintage Must de Cartier lighter features a slim, elongated oval-shaped body with a smooth silver-tone metallic finish.
The simple design is one of its nicest features. There are no elaborate patterns or colorful panels, just a clean metal surface, softly rounded edges, and classic Cartier styling.
The front of the lid carries an engraved Cartier signature, adding a subtle but recognizable detail.
The body has a lightly brushed appearance, with fine surface lines that reflect light gently rather than producing a highly polished mirror finish.
I particularly like the contrast between the rounded sides and the flatter central panels. It gives the lighter a comfortable, balanced appearance.
The top has a smooth oval shape, matching the gently curved bottom of the body.
The bottom plate is engraved with "Cartier," a small hallmark, "SWISS MADE," and the serial number "E94194."
A circular fitting and a recessed rectangular section are also visible on the base.
The exact metal composition and plating specification have not been verified, so the finish is described as silver-tone.
There are visible fine scratches, small marks, and areas of surface wear across the body.
The lid, upper corners, and bottom plate show additional handling scratches, while some edges have minor finish wear.
Still, the smooth silver-tone surface retains a pleasant metallic sheen, and the Cartier signature remains clearly visible.
The subtle wear gives it a natural vintage appearance without distracting from its clean design.
The lighter is accompanied by a red Must de Cartier presentation box with a cream-colored satin-style interior and gold-colored "must de Cartier Paris" branding.
The box has some visible scuffs and minor wear along the edges, and the interior lining shows light creasing and signs of storage.
Even so, the red box and silver-tone lighter make a very nice combination, particularly for display.
Overall, this is a classic-looking Cartier set with a simple design, elegant proportions, and an attractive vintage feel.
Please refer to the photos for detailed condition.
[Functionality]
Only basic ignition has been tested.
The heat control works well.
As this is a vintage lighter, a complete overhaul is recommended for reliable long-term use.
Other functions have not been tested and are not guaranteed.
[Accessories]
Everything shown in the photos is included.
The photographs show the Cartier lighter and red Must de Cartier presentation box with a cream-colored interior.
No additional accessories are confirmed.
Flint and gas will be removed before shipping.
Please refill before use.
[Shipping]
The lighter and presentation box will be carefully packed to protect the silver-tone finish, lid, and box interior during international transportation.
Shipping will be arranged through FedEx or another reliable international courier with tracking, subject to destination and applicable shipping restrictions.
Import duties, VAT, customs clearance fees, and other applicable taxes vary by country and are the responsibility of the buyer.
