DATE: Vintage, c.1980

A cool vintage rollagas lighter by Dunhill. The colour palette is gorgeous: gold plated, with marbled blue lacquer finish. Alfred Dunhill Ltd. is a British company that initially specialised in motoring accessories - leather overcoats, car horns, goggles, timepieces, etc. - under the slogan "Everything But The Motor". In 1927, they released the "Unique" lighter, the first to be operated using only one hand, and in the 1950s they pitched the now iconic Rollagas butane lighter.
