Vintage Collectible ZAIMA CUPID Lighter – Made in Japan (1960s–1970s)

Offered for sale is an original vintage pocket lighter, model Zaima Cupid, manufactured in Japan during the 1960s–1970s. It is an elegant, slim model heavily inspired by the classic Dunhill Rollagas style—ideal for collectors or enthusiasts of retro items.

Specifications and aesthetic details:

Brand/Model: Zaima Cupid (original marking on the base).

Design: Casing in metallo tono argento con finitura a linee verticali (fine striature) e dettagli interni in tono dorato (ottone).

Mechanism: Classic ignition system featuring a hinged lid (lift-arm) and a vertically serrated spark wheel.

Aesthetic condition: Shows authentic age-related patina and normal signs of wear (minor loss of silver plating revealing the brass base)—details that enhance its vintage character and authenticity.

Technical condition:

The lid opening mechanism is complete and functional.

The serrated wheel turns properly.

IMPORTANT: The lighter has NOT been tested with gas and is sold as a collector's item, a decorative piece, or for restoration. It requires butane refilling and, most likely, a new flint to generate a spark. All components (flint screw and gas valve) are present and in place; there are no missing parts.

A distinctive gift for smokers, mid-century modern style enthusiasts, or those who restore vintage precision mechanisms.
