PLASTIC? GAS LIGHTER WITH REAL SEALIFE?
« on: December 12, 2007, 08:48:27 PM »
 :xt:  Hi

What's this funny lighter all about - anyone?

It has no markings, and I don't know anything about it, but the seahorses and little crab look real?

This sort of thing is more commonly seen as paperweights - a very 70s sort of thing.

And the lighter mechanism is very 70s too, it reminds me that smokers all had their own lighters and would put them on top of their fag packet in front of them.  I remember the Ronson Lady and buying a boyfriend a Dunhill once........

Anyway, I'm rambling again

Where is that smiley with the light bulb over it's head  :thd: you reminded me Sue!! Dunhill made a range of lighters called Aquarium, although i dont think yours is a Dunhill, (sorry) but in my favourite junk shop there is a cabinet full of this stuff, i will see if any have any labels.

My favourite junk shop, there not many like this any more.
