Description from the seller

Highly sought-after and rarely offered in this distinctive black lacquer finish, this vintage Cartier lighter quickly captures attention whenever it appears at auction. Its elegant minimalism combined with the unique dotted lid design makes it especially appealing to collectors.

Authenticity
The base is engraved with “Cartier Paris,” “PLAQUE OR G,” the serial number “C77878,” and the Cartier hallmark, verifying it as an authentic Swiss-made Cartier lighter.

Appearance
Classic black lacquer body paired with gold-plated trim and a dotted pattern on the lid. Shows notable signs of age such as scratches, scuffs, lacquer wear, edge rubbing, and marks on the gold-plated areas. Despite this wear, it retains a strong vintage presence. Please refer to the photos for its precise condition.

Functionality
Basic ignition has been tested and confirmed. As a vintage piece, a professional overhaul is recommended for long-term use. Functions other than basic ignition are untested and not covered by warranty.

Accessories
Everything shown in the photos is included.
