About the Item
On offer is a rare unused and boxed 1950s bakelite battery operated flintless table lighter, the D.L.I 'Flamingo' by Dorset Light Industries Ltd Bridport England.
This lighter is the 1st edition of the D.L.I 'Flamingo' produced in 1950 and features the original 6 dry cell batteries.
Other later editions followed in 1953 with 4 batteries.
Bakelite flintless desk lighter, in colour bordeaux red with grey stripe.
Unused and retains its original box complete with user manual instructions, along with 6 original dry-cell batteries which will be discarded prior to dispatch.
From what I can see, once powered up with the right batteries, pulling out the stopper reveals an already lit wand, its that sleek and simple
Will make a great gift for a cigar or pipe smoker..

West Africa Senufo Cast Bronze Mask Kpelie, Circa 1950s
Located in Torquay, GB
Ancestral Senufo cast bronze face mask (Kpelie) from Côte d'Ivoire West Africa.
Made using the lost wax technique.
Traditionally, the 'Kpelie' is an ancestral mask worn during funeral rites, initiation ceremonies, weddings and births.
The function of the mask is determined by the crest at the top of it's head and the subtle scarification markings it carries.
The female mask will normally have a plug on it's mouth with the male masks having an open mouth and longer protruding jaw.
It is believed that the mask itself embodies the spirit of the dead, hence the name 'Dead Face'
The delicate attributes of this mask is a fine example of the excellent artistry of the Senufos.
This is a male Senufo Mask...
