Dug old lighter

[Lord Verdigris]

Found this today and it had a almost complete painted label with cards. All aces and suits. Crumbled off when it dried out. Soil must have kept it intact. Still cool it's shaped like a bottle. Any idea of age?

I remember having one of those in the seventies but it could be earlier than that, Nice find Good Luck.

Thanks for the info. It had the aces on it but like I said it seemed to come right off shortly after I got it out. It looked like this picture I found on ebay.
