1950's Vintage Lighter Shaped as a Jet Plane
This is chrome plated and mounted on an art deco-style base. The plane is fitted with a ball and socket joint so it can be move around to any attitude you like.
The chrome plating has some small scratches and marks but is generally in very good condition considering its age and it looks much smarter than most of the other examples I have seen.
The lighter part needs a new flint and some fuel in order to work, but the mechanism looks as if it will function OK. However, as I have not been able to try it, I cannot offer any guarantee.
