{"product_id":"vintage-brass-pocket-lighter","title":"Vintage Brass Pocket Lighter","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 2.75 in. H x 1.25 in. W x .25 in.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlease review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67841146388758,"sku":"AMD-15700","price":80.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/October_2026-14440.jpg?v=1793209655","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/vintage-brass-pocket-lighter","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
