About the Item

This chrome table lighter was made by the renowned Alfred Dunhill Company of England and dates to 1960 and done in the period Mid-Century Modern style. The lighter is made in the likeness of the F-86 fighter jet, which set world speed records some years previously. The lighter is done in a heavy cast metal with a thick chrome finish and stands on a pedestal base. The lighter ignites when the button inside the front intake is depressed, which flips up the canopy to expose the flame within the cockpit area. The lighter is clearly signed with the Dunhill maker's logo on the bottom of the base.
