The lighter in the pictures is the exact lighter you will receive.
This is a Thorens semi-automatic pocket lighter manufactured in Switzerland. This is the "double claw" model, which entered production in approximately 1927, and was protected by Swiss patent in 1928.
Pressing the button releases the catch, allowing the spring-loaded top to snap open. As it does so, the two claws engage the spark wheel, one on each side, rotating it to stroke t...he flint.
This unit is missing the spark wheel and flint, but is otherwise in very good condition.
