Description from the seller

Rarely encountered in this striking geometric design, this vintage Cartier lighter immediately stands out and tends to attract strong attention on the collector market. Its distinctive lacquer-and-metal construction makes it a desirable piece that often performs well at auction.

Authenticity
The base is engraved with “Cartier – Swiss Made,” along with the serial marking visible beside the filling screw, confirming it is an authentic Cartier lighter.

Appearance
The lighter features a bold black geometric lacquer pattern over a polished metal frame. Signs of age are visible, including light scratches, small scuffs on the metal edges, and minor wear around the adjustment screw. The lacquer panels appear intact with typical light handling marks. Please refer to the photos for full details of the condition.

Functionality
Basic ignition has been tested and confirmed. As this is a vintage item, a professional overhaul is recommended for long-term use. Any functions not mentioned above are untested and are not covered by warranty.

Accessories
Only the lighter itself is included. Everything shown in the photos is what will be shipped.

- Estimated delivery time: Approximately 1 week (may vary by country/region)
