Up for sale is a beautiful, vintage mid-century Japanese automatic lift-arm style petrol pocket lighter. This pocket-sized souvenir piece features gorgeous, traditional Japanese artwork on both sides in a striking gold-tone damascene/champlevé style contrast against a dark background.
This is a fantastic restoration project for a vintage lighter hobbyist or a wonderful, highly visual addition to any tobacciana or mid-century Asian art collection.
