A German manufactured Brass lighter circa 1890’s. It has a circular ring on the outer face which when turned opens the lid and operates the striking mechanism. The igniter “caps” are on a paper roll, similar to an old toy cap pistol and when hit by the sprung arm they would provide the spark. The wick passes through a hinged lid which opens to reveal the cotton. Complete, mech works, and in VG condition. From the Howard Hazelcorn collection.
