Description

This antique lighter from the brand Shunda, model "Deer 888 Windproof Lighter," stands out with its distinctive visual design, featuring a light grey marbled effect speckled with white and black. Its rounded rectangular shape recalls the compact and ergonomic designs typical of vintage pocket lighters. The object has two clearly legible inscriptions on its front face: "Deer 888 Windproof Lighter" in stylized letters, and the brand "SHUNDA" in fine characters.

The exterior surface visible in the photo shows a smooth and shiny appearance, suggesting a lacquered coating or a synthetic material crafted to imitate natural stone. The lid is delimited by a thin horizontal line, marking the separation between the removable upper part and the main body. No other patterns or decorations are visible on this face.

The lighter rests on a white crochet doily, which highlights the contrast with its speckled grey hue. The overall condition shows some signs of use and a slight patina, enhancing its antique and authentic character. No chips, cracks, or structural defects are visible on the displayed side.

This model, due to its design and the mention "windproof lighter," belongs to the category of windproof lighters, prized for their outdoor use. The typography of the inscriptions and the general appearance suggest manufacturing dating probably from the second half of the 20th century, without being able to specify the exact period.
