This model displays the inscription \"HZH\" as well as three stylized circular symbols, and a series of horizontal black bands accompanied by ermine motifs, characteristic of the famous Breton flag. All of this is inscribed on a rectangular surface with rounded corners, with a contrasting frame. The overall aesthetic evokes a sober design, typical of retro objects focused on strong regional references.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible face of the lighter shows signs of use: some scratches, slight signs of wear and handling marks on the white surface, which gives the whole an authentic patina sought after for this type of antique object. No mechanism is apparent in the photo; only the decor and the external appearance are visible. The object has a compact and flat shape, suitable for holding in hand or slipping into a pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear contrast between the black graphic elements and the white background gives it a pronounced graphic appearance, easily recognizable and particularly decorative.
