ITEM NOTES: This is from a lighter collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAEM15 LAAEX7/15 SAAEX11/16

CONDITION: 4+ (Very Good): The lighter shows moderate to heavy wear, the hinges are beginning to separate (see photo), but does not inhibit the function of the lid, much of the chrome plating remains, nearly all the gilt and enamel details are fully intact.
