Vintage 1920s Sterling Silver Lighter

A true piece of history is this 1920s sterling silver fluid fuelled lighter 

The two piece silver casing remains in good condition with a patina commensurate with age and use 

Lovely guilloché finish and an ergonomic design with ‘swelled edges’

Bold hallmarks decorated the inside of the case telling us the piece was made by William Base & Sons and assayed in Birmingham in 1928

The original insert remains in good working order.  Fuelled by lighter fluid (zippo)
