Description from the seller

Hummingbird Lighter of London
Black Chinese lacquer - gold plated.
Rare collectible item of excellent quality.

Rare and perfect lighter as a collectible piece, decorative object, or gift idea for enthusiasts of unique items. Difficult to find.

Special sale at a symbolic price due to a move, display cabinet.

Contents in the package
Hummingbird lighter
Original box with a velvety interior.

Main features
Brand: produced in the United Kingdom, with the brand 'Colibrì of London' engraved.
Material: Chinese black lacquer + gold-plated metal
Operation and charging: butane gas
Turning on: Pietrina.
Wheel adjustment.
In personalized gift box COLIBRI

Ideal for:
Collectors of special lighters
Lovers of vintage objects or Western style.
Original and elegant gift ideas.

Elegant in finish. Solid in appearance and substance. Robust and reliable thanks to the pietrina mechanism, the powerful angled flame, and the oversize ignition wheel. A generation of lighters for demanding and high-class smokers. Colibri

Measurements: Height 65mm - Width 23mm - Thickness 9mm. Weight: 120g.

Condition: Excellent to the eye.

Used only at home, always kept on display in a glass cabinet for years. Original box and packaging.

The spark that ignites is still powerful, but the gas has vanished.

I don't have the gas to test it, but the lacquer is practically perfect. Sparkle present. I'm selling without guaranteeing anything other than what I see.
