About the Item
1930s Dunhill Table Lighter
This is a Dunhill "Unique" table lighter, made in England, notable for its solid construction and classic period aesthetic. The rectangular body with smoothed edges is executed in polished metal and features exquisite guilloché work in a geometric pattern of intertwined waves and diamonds that wraps around the entire piece, offering a visual contrast of textures. The main feature is its bridge-type ignition mechanism, where the "Dunhill" name is clearly inscribed on the center crossbar. This wick and flint system features an exposed, toothed side friction wheel for ignition, along with a knurled flint adjustment screw, visible on the right side of the mechanism, facilitating maintenance. The chimney cap is hinged and manually operated. The lighter's larger base provides stability and is engraved with the distinctive marks "DUNHILL", "MADE IN ENGLAND" and the patent number, certifying the precision of its manufacture.

Alfred Dunhill 
He 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).
