Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:609048 | Modified Item: No |
Country/Region of Manufacture: Switzerland |
Marked: Savory Brevete SGDG nº 806949 ALFRED DUNHILL PARIS FAB. SUISSE.This lighter has a "BL" stamped underneath the roller, The "BL" mark on french lighters stands for "Briquet de Luxe" (luxury lighter) this seal created in 1926 (to be used in replacement of the unaesthetic tax copper label welded on the lighter) was meant only for luxurious and expensive lighters.
It's qui...te unusual to see a Savory with lacquer finish, all the others I've seen were solid silver and fetched really high prices. I couldn't find any silver marks on this one.On the lid the initials PM are masterfully engraved in a lovely art deco letter font.
The name Savory was used in lighters made in France or Switzerland, but meant to be sold by the Dunhill shop in Paris.(In England this model was called the Handy)
Will be sent empty (no fuel).No problem to combine shipping if you buy multiple items. I have other vintage lighters on Ebay.Payment by PayPal.
Due to postal restrictions on lighters I will not ship to the UK.
