    Description

    DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION
    Up for sale is a vintage Trench Art bullet table lighter. I found this with other trench art items that I am confident date to WWII. I can’t identify this bullet but I think it might also be from  WWII but I am not certain. It measures about 5.25” long not including the stand. The casing width measures 20 mm across the base and it tappers down to about 15 mm. The bullet cap is a thin metal cap. It fits tight and takes a little effort to remove. The lighter pulls out. Note the split/gap around part of the casing that holds the lighter (see photos 7 & 9 ). It sparks with a new flint. It needs a wick. It should work with a new wick and fluid. There is some wear and oxidation to the chrome finish. I have not tried to clean or polish this item so if you choose to it should clean/polish up some. Please review the photographs and email me if you have any questions or want additional photographs.
    All lighters are shipped empty of lighter fluid and have had the flint removed. You will find a flint in a bag inside package along with the lighter. You will need to get lighter fluid.
    I mainly sell used older items including antiques, collectibles and oddities so please expect some signs of wear from use. I will identify or describe any unusual or notable wear and damage in the description of the item or in the photographs but please email me if you have specific concerns I have not addressed.
