Buyer's Premium:

A collection of lighters of varying styles, manufacturers, and eras. The group includes a heavily patinated, rounded antique-style metal case, possibly a match safe or early lighter housing, exhibiting significant surface oxidation. Also included is a slender gold-toned lighter with black vertical panelling, marked LUNDI on the base with flame adjustment symbols. A modern, dark grey metal lighter with a textured grip is present, marked JOBON on its side. The collection features several flip-top, windproof lighters of Zippo-style construction with various applied emblems and graphics. One example features a colourful graphic titled Two Beer or Not Two Beer alongside a caricature and a cannabis leaf. The remaining four silver-toned lighters feature applied metal emblems, including a United States Navy-style eagle and shield with crossed anchors; a skull with the engraved text Mess with the Best and Die like the Rest; a United States Marine Corps Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem; and an eagle head profile over a flag.
