The listing, ♣♠♦♥→ Vintage Gold Plated Lighter ←♥♦♠♣ has ended.
☃ - With the help from a friend, I've found out this is Pre 1963, so this lighter is vintage ! :)
I noticed other lighters on here, so I go and get this out, and think, doggone it, it's not a "Zippo" like everyone else seems to be listing. So, the Cagney and Lacy in me decides to do some research - Guess what, I'm no Cagney and Lacy. I couldn't find out much about this lighter, but with the help from a friend who deals in antiques I was able to find out the following information.
*** This is a "Pre" 1963 Gold Plated lighter, and when I tried to light it, it sparks, so I'm quite sure if some lighter fluid in this it will work. ☺
* It is Vintage (which means it is at least 50 years old).
* It is Gold Plated.
**On the bottom of the lighter it has stamped:
"PARK Lighter Murfreesboro TENN, U.S.A"
*** It measures 2-1/4" X 1-1/4"
**** It has a ding on the back. The first thing I wondered was it in someones pocket and stop a bullet. lol. j/k. No, not really, that did cross my mind. :-)
~~~ One more thing. I ask that if you bid that by the time the auction is over, would you please have your address verified. Thank you :-)
