Antique Victorian Figural CIGAR Lighter Aladdin Lamp Head Ornate Detailing
Antique Cigar Aladdin's Lamp Kerosene Cigar Lighter measuring 6" x 4.5" x 2.5 approximately and weighing about one pound. The lighter is in very good condition overall and notable in that it has seems to have all or most of the parts. There are three wicks, two on the side and one in the center. The side wicks have some extra tape padding to stay in place as does the center. The center one has not been removed and is in tightly. The front cap is held by a wire chain that is probably not the original, but a repair. Color of the metals (probably specter) vary from the base to the finials. The gilding is mostly gone but there are a few spots where evidence of it remains: in the left eye of the face and under the lid. The inside has a silvery finish. There is some white material in some crevices of the body and on the wicks, but no corrosion. There is one fresh surface nick in the metal on the left side looking forward. Bottom has some pads or tape attached to prevent scratching a table. Please see the photos for a complete visual description.
