Inside the lighter near the flint mechanism you can see engraved the following:
LIC.U.S.A.PAT
No 1857352

Condition:
In full working condition, tested, has been with a family of smokers for ages.
When rolling the side rod, the cup opens automatically and sparks is created automatically as well.
(I took a screenshot from a small video, please see relevant photo).
All wheels are not frozen.
There are obvious small signs of use/small wear (logically after all these years) yet
the overall looking condition is very good and the small signs of wear that you see in the photos
can be noticed in reality only after a very close inspection, no one notices when you use the lighter.
Has not been used for 30+ years.

As always please study the detailed pictures before bidding.
Flint mechanism works fine, easily pushed to accept a new flint and locks back firmly.
New wicks can be placed easily any you may want, ideal if from pipe cleaning thin rods with cotton.
The tank container can accept a good gasoline amount.
Container screw closes firmly and unscrews easily without problems.
Out of curiosity I did an acid test to check the silver plating and the result was remarkably perfect (see picture with the orange drop),
this is maximum quality silver plating, an item built to last.

will be shipped without fluid(dry)
