Sterling Silver Lighter

[tamrock]

I hit a big indoor flea market north of where I live yesterday and picked up this vintage 1950's ?? Elgin American sterling lighter. It was priced at $24.00 even, so with tax it cost me around $25.00. It's not just a sterling cover, but the insert is also labeled sterling. I like it and if I go to sell it, I'm fairly sure it would sell for more then I've got in it.

Great lighter!!! I just bought a collection from Goodwill 3 dollars a piece. I think more and more will be showing up at the thrift stores as smoking is not as popular as it was. I scored a nice Dunhill and some great Ronsons. I would love to find a silver one. Nice find.

I got this sterling hallmarked 1924 Dunhill in Montana for less than $40. I sold it on eBay and it only brought something like $390. I'm bit sad
over that price, but
that's the way it goes. I did however find a nice Dunhill roller for $10 and I still have it http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/garage-sale-finds/501559-scored-today-vintage-dunhill-lighter.html
