Vintage Brass Pocket Lighter
Vintage Brass Pocket Lighter
Couldn't load pickup availability
A slim brass pocket lighter with a slip-on cap that closes over the wick and flint wheel, which kept fuel from evaporating between cigarettes. It’s the sort of plain, practical piece that rode in a coat pocket for decades. A tidy little object for a desk, a shelf, or a tobacciana collection.
This is a worn but intact brass lighter with the honest wear of a pocket piece. I have not tested it, so I can’t speak to whether it sparks or burns, and it is sold untested as a decorative piece. No fuel is included.
The brass shows scratches and light surface wear across the body and cap, with a few small reddish spots on one side. The upper body, visible with the cap off, is darker and mottled. There are grey-white deposits along the cap seam and the center band, which look like solder or white metal. I can’t establish whether they belong to the original assembly or a later repair. The wick is dry and frayed, and I have not confirmed whether a flint is present. The cap is a friction fit and slips off the body.
Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
