Here is what could be the largest collection of vintage cigarette
lighters ever assembled. It is a fascinating chronicle of cigarette
lighters' Golden Age. This era begins with the primitive lighters made
at the turn of the 20th century and continues through to the
contemporary Scripto Vu-Lighters of the 1960s. These popular personal
accessories were made by the most widely known and respected
manufacturers of the time including Dunhill, Ronson (Art Metal Works
Company), Evans, Scripto, and Zippo, as well as many smaller,
specialized manufacturers. Stunningly photographed, the book is
illustrated with over 1000 color photographs of vintage lighters
including the debonair Town and Country gentlemen's lighters, beautiful
and fanciful Art Deco lighters, whimsical figural lighters to one of a
kind Zippos. Invaluable as a reference for collectors and antique
dealers, it is conveniently organized by country of origin and includes
essays by noted experts in the lighter collecting field. Current values
as well as detailed descriptions are included in the captions.
