Description
A collection of vintage table lighters in various styles and finishes, dating approximately from the 1930s to the 1960s. The group includes four silver-plated examples featuring classical revival designs with gadrooned edges and pedestal bases, in the style of Ronson Queen Anne models. Also present are two brass-toned lighters: one of boat-shaped form supported by four small feet and another featuring a heavily embossed oval body with decorative borders. Completing the collection is a cylindrical table lighter with a black-finished body and a silver-toned striker mechanism featuring a textured insert. These items were popular domestic accessories of the mid-20th century. No maker’s marks are clearly visible in the provided images.
Condition report:
The collection is in varied vintage condition. There is visible tarnishing and patination to the silver-plated surfaces, particularly on the pedestal-style examples. The brass-toned lighters show surface wear and areas of minor oxidation. General surface scratches and small scuffs consistent with age and use are present across the collection. The internal mechanisms appear complete, but all items are sold as seen and are untested for functionality.
