This Ges Gesch automatic cigarette lighter appears to be a vintage item, likely of German origin, as indicated by the term "Ges Gesch," which is an abbreviation for "Gesetzlich Geschützt" meaning "legally protected" (usually denoting a registered design or patent). The lighter, as shown in the image, seems to be held between fingers, suggesting a compact and portable size.The lighter has a noticeable patina and signs of wear on its outer case, indicative of its age and use. However, the fact that it retains a good spring mechanism when the button is pushed suggests that its internal components are still functional. It requires a flint to produce a spark and lighter fluid to function properly, both of which are typical maintenance needs for such vintage lighters.Given its condition and functionality, this lighter could be a desirable item for collectors or someone with an appreciation for vintage smoking accessories. The guarantee of authenticity and the lighter's original state enhances its value. With proper cleaning and the necessary refills, it has the potential to be both a collectible display piece and a functional item.
