Alfred Dunhill 1950 West Germany Desk Petrol Mechanical Lighter 12 Inches Ruler
Located in Miami, FL
Twelve Inches ruler desk lighter designed by Dunhill.
Very unusual and stunning desk petrol lighter, designed by Dunhill back in the 1950. This mechanical lighter has been crafted in West Germany in the shape of a 12 inches ruler, made up in steel with high polished chrome plating.
Weight: 262.6 Grams, (168.34 Dwt).
Measurements: 327 mm by 39 mm (12.88 x 1.54 Inches).
Hallmarks: Stamped with the maker's mark and signed, "Dunhill MADE IN WEST GERMANY".
Alfred Dunhill inherited his father’s London saddlery in 1893. Following the increase in motor car ownership, Alfred developed the business to include motoring accessories, which he called ‘Dunhill’s Motorities’. This included goggles, timepieces, picnic sets, and leather coats, and it wasn’t long before the brand became associated with men’s general motoring attire. They opened two shops in Mayfair and had a catalogue of over 1300 items. Between the 1904 and 1905, Dunhill introduced their ‘Windshield Pipe’, to help drivers combat the effect of wind and travel on their ability to smoke. This marked both the end of the ‘motorities’ focus and their entry into the world of smoking ephemera, and they shortly opened their first tobacconist in 1907 on Duke Street. The proximity to several esteemed Private Members Clubs around the Mayfair, St James’ area ensured that the venture was a success. (From Nicholas Wells With Thanks).
Literature: Blei-Bottoni Ref-630 (6 Inches) Pp-318 Illustrated.
Note: This version was retailed for 20.00 usd, back in the 1950s. It is noted by Blei-Bottoni as hard to find.
Collateral: It is accompanied by the designer's presentation green pouch...
