CIRCA 1950s CONTINENTAL MANUFACTURING COMPANY (CMC) POCKET LIGHTER Made In JAPAN
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4336522 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan |
| Brand: CMC | Type: PETROL POCKET LIGHTER |
This listing is for a Continental Manufacturing Company (CMC) pocket lighter. This lighter was made in Japan around the 1950's, and is in very good condition, but with noticeable wear to the finish. The metal finish appears to be a hammered design, there are tiny dings spread around the surface. I'm sure the outside metal sleeve is decorated by hand, and the dings look like they may be there naturally from the artist that designed this piece. Either way the lighter is beautiful, and is... a real conversation starter. There is some wear on the plating, but overall it is very nice. The chrome portions show some wear, but there is no corrosion or damage. The lighter mechanism moves freely, and the flint tube is clear, but the lighter doesn't want to spark with every strike. The mechanism seems to stick a little, and may just need to be cleaned. This is a petrol lighter, and it has NOT been filled and tested. Thank you for looking.
!!!!!DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STRIKE YOUR LIGHTER WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT. I DONOT SHIP ANY LIGHTER WITH A FLINT INSERTED, AND A DRY STRIKE CAN DAMAGE IT. YOUMUST INSERT A FLINT PRIOR TO STRIKING IT.!!!!! *****NOTICE*****Please understand that you are bidding on lighters that are likely a halfcentury old or more. I DO NOT guarantee that the lighter you are purchasingwill work. I do make every effort to clear out the flint tubes and show thelighters sparking, but I DO NOT add any fuel to the lighters to check for leaksor ignition. I cannot ship a lighter with a trace of fuel in it or I face HEAVYfines, therefore I do not add fuel. I WILL NOT accept a return for a lighterthat leaks or doesn’t ignite. Please keep in mind that if a wick lightersparks, has a wick and cotton, it should light with no issue. Butane lighterswill sometimes begin to leak over time, but that is not definite. If they doleak it is usually a matter of replacing the seals, and the lighter works fine.I DO remove the flint prior to shipping to insure there will be no spark. The buyer isresponsible for purchasing insurance should it be desired. The seller will useUSPS First Class or Priority depending on weight of package for all domesticshipments. The seller will use USPS Priority for ALL international shipments unlessinstructed otherwise by the buyer. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I WILL NOT BEOFFERING USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ANYMORE. I am not able to insure First ClassInternational packages, nor can I track them.
