Vintage Marlboro cigarette pack style lighter, retro old, rare advertising item

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique lighter features a distinctive design inspired by a Marlboro cigarette pack, instantly recognizable by its red and white graphics on the visible side. The pattern faithfully reproduces the famous white arrow on a red background, topped with the inscription "FILTER CIGARETTES" in white letters on a red background, as well as the central golden crest and the "Marlboro" brand name in black. The base of the object also displays the partially faded golden lettering "20 CLASS A CIGARETTES," typical of the brand's promotional packaging.

The overall shape is rectangular and compact, with rounded corners. On the side shown, there are several signs of wear, scratches, and small chips, highlighting the vintage character and previous use of this promotional lighter. The top partially reveals a black mechanism, characteristic of a flint or gas lighter, with no other visible details from this view.

The object has a smooth finish with a metallic look on its edges, while the main face displays a printed design. No other markings or details are visible in the photo, with the exception of the famous logo and the red, white, black, and gold color palette, a signature of the Marlboro brand.

This type of promotional lighter, often given as a gift or used as a promotional item from the 1970s to the 1990s, appeals with its retro style and decorative value. The original patina and marks of time enhance the authenticity of the object for lovers of vintage advertising design.
