WIN Vintage Luxury Lighter Model 0012 – Japan – 1970s/1980s

A vintage collectible butane gas lighter made by the Japanese manufacturer WIN (International Lighter Corp.) in the 1970s-1980s. WIN was renowned at the time for manufacturing heavy metal lighters with robust mechanisms and high quality finishes.

Brand: WIN (clearly stamped on the base of the lighter).

Model: 0012 (luxury series).

Finish: Gold plated top, decorated with an asymmetrical three-dimensional geometric pattern of the Diamond Head (Pointe de Diamant) type, which reflects light in a wave shape.

Mechanism: Automatic gas system with swing arm and engraved internal instructions ("For flint up and turn / Automatic Gas Shop System").

Functional mechanism: The lighter ignites and produces a flame; the toothed wheel has excellent grip and produces a strong spark.

Testing: The piece has only been tested for immediate ignition. It has not been tested long-term to determine if the internal seals maintain gas pressure over an extended period of time.

Aesthetic condition: Very good for its age. The gold plating is uniform and well preserved on all sides. It shows a fine microscopic patina of age and normal use, with no dings or structural defects.

IMPORTANT – NOTE ON DELIVERY:

NO GAS / EMPTY: For strict safety reasons and in accordance with international transport regulations for flammable materials, the lighter is delivered completely empty, without gas. The buyer will need to refill it with standard butane gas upon receipt in order to operate it
