This is a vintage Masai jaguar / panther table lighter made in Japan. This collectible mid-century lighter doubles as a decorative big cat figurine with an eye-catching bronze / copper-tone finish and sparkling rhinestone eyes.

The lighter features a clever hidden mechanism between the ears that pulls back to ignite, releasing the flame through the cat’s mouth. A great conversation piece for collectors of vintage tobacciana, mid century decor, Japanese novelty items, or animal figurines.

The sculpted details give this piece a sleek modernist look that fits well with Hollywood Regency, MCM, eclectic decor.

Good preowned condition; age-related wear including spots of finish variation present. Please review all photos carefully for exact condition details.
