Vintage old Silver Match lighter, retro brown finish to restore/display

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Petrol table lighter from the Silver Match brand, visible on the top part where the inscription "SILVER MATCH" is engraved. This model features a rectangular structure with rounded corners, with a brown-looking exterior finish evoking leather or suede, although the precise material is not identifiable in the photo. The top of the lighter has a light, polished metallic finish, with reflections and some apparent traces of oxidation or wear.

The visible main face shows a marked patina, typical of old, everyday objects. Wear areas and slight discolorations are observed on the brown band, confirming the authenticity of its vintage look and history. The flint ignition mechanism is partially visible on the upper part, characteristic of lighters from the second half of the 20th century.

The compact form and the contrast between the brown band and the metallic parts give this lighter a retro style, particularly sought after for decoration or display. No additional decor or pattern is visible on the photographed face, favoring a sober and functional aesthetic.

The metallic surface on top shows slight oxidation and some micro-scratches, signs of past use. The ignition mechanism appears complete but untested, and the flint is not clearly visible. The entire item rests on a white support, probably a box or a presentation cushion, not included in the sale (not specified in the keywords).

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Visible wear on the brown band and the upper metallic part. To be restored or displayed as is, not tested for functionality.

Did you know? Silver Match lighters became particularly popular in Europe from the 1950s onwards, with the brand known for its robust and elegant models, often associated with original finishes. Vintage models are appreciated for their timeless design and reliable mechanism.
