The listing, Antique Lighter - 3 DAYS ONLY!!!** has ended.
It's a Kreisler long-flint lighter, made in USA around 1965 I believe and the inscription also reads : "US Pats. Pending" I would say this was the lighter Kreisler decided to get a Patent for or maybe they marked all 3 Patents that way. In my research there were 3 original Patents. Kreisler still "copyrighted" this lighter though as there is a "C" mark denoting that. No markings regarding sterling silver
This is an antique/vintage lighter. Will probably need a new flint. It does have an inscription on the back but for those who collect these, I suppose it's not a big deal. It's 40 yrs old, it was given to my aunt in the 60's .
For those who do bid, realize that there is a flat shipping charge. This is second listing as the shipping was not paid. It's a nominal fee so that I'm able to ship and track. Sometimes I've bid and not realized myself, so heads up. If you have any questions, please ask, I'm usually pretty good about responding quickly.
Thanks for stopping by my auction.
Good Luck
