This Dunhill Tinder Pistol is a fine example of an extraordinary table lighter which is in the shape of a flintlock tinder (gun) pistol from the XVIII century. It is made of brass and it has an antique brass finish and a nice oak slab handle (butt). The lighter has a very precise trigger-activated mechanism - the top opens and sparks when the trigger is pulled. The Dunhill Tinder Pistol wick lighter was manufactured both in England and USA. This specific model manufactured in United States is dated between 1930 and 1940. Shows signs of age and tarnish, comes empty and fully operational.
