VINTAGE
DUNHILL  "SQUARE BOY"

PETROL  Lighter - Briquet - Feuerzeug
Silver plated

  • This is a nice version of the Dunhill Square Boy (Mini) Petrol pocket lighter, silver plated.
     
  • Made in 1938 in Switzerland by Alfred Dunhill Ltd.

  • Highlight of the early years was another Dunhill break-trough: a double wheel to reduce the effort needed to make a spark. In mid 30s came the Tallboy, the first lighter to have the mechanism concealed. Improved flint action meant less adjustment towards the end of the flint life.

    A component that has remained virtually unchanged to this day was introduced in the late 30s ­ a new flint action which made screwing up unnecessary. This significant advance was introduced on the Handy and Square Boy.

  • There are 3 (three) initials engraved on the lighter: "M R I"
  • No box and no papers.
  • Marks in the base: Dunhill - London - Made in Switzerland - Pat Nº 477768 - U.S.A. Pat. 2102108 - Other Pat. Pending.
  • Silver plated, classic "Barley" design.
  • Mechanism: Lift arm with horizontal flint tube.
  • The base screw is original and has a flint storage.
  • Made in: Switzerland - 1938

  • Fluid petrol is removed from the lighter before shipping because it is classified as a hazardous material by the courier services.

  • Total length: 34.50 mm (approx.)
  • Wide: 34.50 mm (approx.)
  • Width: 11.30 mm (approx.)

  • Condition: Lighter is pre-owned, in very good conditions as you can see, some very minor marks on the surface, according with it's age.
