Regens pocket lighter with an Art Deco-style diagonal grid across the body and long side lever. Rectangular openings appear below the rounded top cap with a ribbed grip detail near the lower edge. REGENS is marked on one side and MADE IN U.S.A. appears on the base. The silver-tone surfaces show substantial dulling, brown discoloration, edge wear and a small greenish spot near a lower fastener. The owner reports that the action sticks a little; fuel and lighting function have not been tested. The grid decoration makes this a distinct option for a Regens or geometric vintage lighter display, but it is not represented as ready for daily use. Includes the photographed lighter. Internal parts, exact manufacture date and the cause of the sticking action are not established. Metal construction; exact alloy and plating are unverified. The diagonal grid/crosshatch continues over the lever; a slotted base screw and small patent text are pictured. No exact model number, full patent transcription, dimensions, repair diagnosis, extra accessories or fuel-free condition are established. Art Deco describes the style, not a verified manufacturing decade.
