Description

The listing, Antique Lighter, pre-occupied Japan has ended.

This is an antique lighter dating from preoccupied Japan as recognized by the make on the bottom simply stating "JAPAN" rather than "Made in Japan" which became the common mark after WW2. It is very tarnished and I do not know what metal this is. It still has the refill cartridge with original wick. This was originally owned by my great grandmother, so the time frame matches up with the provenance of the maker's mark. As seen in the picture is is slightly less than 3 inches tall. Any questions, please ask, I will be happy to post a response in the comments section below.

Does it work? Does it strike easily? Is there a spark?

You know, to be perfectly honest with you, I have never filled the reservoir. But the mechanism that causes the "strike" moves correctly and cleanly. There is not currently a flint in it, but one can be easily placed. There is a wick which has never been lit, just yelllowed with age. So I cannot GUARANTEE it works, having never used it, but everything moves well and there does not seem to be any reason why it would not. That being said, I am offering it AS IS. If you bid and get it, its yours. Happy Bidding! :D
