Vintage Flamex Series ’72 piezoelectric butane lighter, made in Japan and dating to 1972.
This compact silver-tone lighter features Flamex\'s piezoelectric ignition system, eliminating the need for flints, batteries or a wick. The lighter has a textured metal finish with the distinctive Flamex atomic-style emblem near the ignition mechanism.
Includes the original fitted Flamex presentation case with red interior and satin-lined lid displaying the period advertising:
• No Flint
• No Batteries
• No Wick
• Adjustable Flame for Cigars, Cigarettes & Pipes
The piezo ignition has been tested and produces a strong visible spark. The lighter has not been filled or tested with butane, so it is being sold with fuel operation untested.
A great original example for collectors of vintage lighters, tobacciana, 1970s accessories, Japanese-made lighters or mid-century design.
