Technical Note - Please Read:
Sold as Untested / For Collection.
This is a vintage butane lighter likely from the 1960s or 70s. I have not tested it with fuel, so I do not know if the internal seals hold gas. It is common for vintage lighters to need new O-rings or a service to be daily functional. The spark wheel spins freely. It is sold as a collectible piece.
