About the Item
1940s Art Deco Partner Wind-Up Musical Lighter, Red & Black with Polished Chrome
A striking example of 1940s novelty Art Deco design, this Partner musical lighter combines elegance, whimsy, and craftsmanship. Featuring a bold red and black motif accented by polished chrome, the lighter is set against an abstracted tan and black airbrushed background on both front and back. On the reverse, the wind-up key reveals a charming rendition of “Oh Susanna,” offering a playful surprise for the discerning collector. The base is stamped “Musical Lighter, Partner,” with “Partner” also appearing on the upper portion of the lighter head.
This lightly used piece is in gently worn condition, showing general wear and some minor losses to the enamel, which are depicted in the images. Despite this, the song plays strongly, highlighting the enduring quality of its mechanical design.
Highly sought after by collectors of Art Deco novelty items, it embodies both functional design and artistic flair. Imagine a dapper gentleman in a sharply tailored suit, pausing mid-conversation at a cocktail party to wind up this lighter, enchanting his guests with its cheerful melody, a true conversation piece and testament to the era’s charm and sophistication.
Perfect for collectors of vintage smoking accessories, Art Deco objects, or mechanical novelties, this Partner musical lighter is a rare find that blends nostalgia, style, and playful ingenuity.
