A very rare Colibri pocket lighter that is ideal for restoration as it is complete. Made of Sterling Silver it features a pen style design and wheel flint action. Full markings as shown. Ideal for restoration as would only require stripping, the silver straight ink and a good clean. When complete this is a highly collectible rare lighter of significant value. Non smoking house and stored in dark and dry conditions. I have collected many items over the years and it is now time to let some go as well as finally have room in an overflowing loft. So please study them carefully. If you are are uncertain of anything please contact me and ask.
