This exquisite little lighter from the Frank M. Whiting manufactory (USA) is a real gem for lovers of antique accessories. Manufactured in the golden twenties to thirties, it reflects the elegance and charm of this era. Its compact size makes it ideal both as a chic accessory for a woman's handbag and as a stylish object on a side table.
The lighter is characterised by its high-quality workmanship. The body is made of the finest glass, topped with a removable cap made of 925 sterling silver. Each piece is unique, the shapes and patterns of the rim vary, making each one a unique work of art. The smooth rim, decorated with a raised beading on the inner edge, proudly bears the inscription "Frank M. Whiting", a testimony to the highest level of craftsmanship.
This all-rounder was not only used as a lighter, but also as an ashtray, which emphasises its versatility. The glass base of the lighter, unmarked yet striking with a notched star base, gives the piece additional lustre and character.
This lighter is more than just a utilitarian object; it is a piece of history that tells of days gone by. As a gift, collector's item and rarity, it is not only pleasing to the eye, but also a valuable addition to any collection.
