It's your daughter's birthday and you're about to light the candles on the cake but you just can't find a box of matches anywhere. Do you face disappointment or reach into your pocket and pull out a smart vintage lighter? What..... you don't have one? Well here is the chance to obtain the very item. This Mosda "500" automatic lighter was made in Birmingham six decades ago. Interestingly it comes in it's original packaging. The maroon coloured, cardboard box with gold lettering remains intact. Due to age and use the box has a small flap missing, a tear along a fold, minor creasing and grubby appearance but overall it has survived remarkably well. The small lighter is an elegant and tactile object. Made of metal, chromed and machine turned the lighter remains in a clean, undamaged condition. As an example of typical British workmanship of the era it is still in working condition (still sparks but doesn't light as needs refilling). The lighter also comes with the original paper guarantee slip which is folded and creased and someone has dated it 21/12/59. It appears this item was possibly a Christmas present. A great item for a collector of vintage lighters, or smoking accessories or as a gift for someone special.
