I found this old germany lighter, wanting to no how old this might be, plus a merc, 1920 dime. Thanks for looking, and good luck on your next hunt.

Just amazing condition on the merc and the lighter. Here is one that dates from the 1920s, it's similar to yours.

"By the 1920s, right in the middle of the Art-Deco period, smoking became extremely popular. And, lighters were right there to keep up with the trend. Flint wheel lighters were the first lighters to make a mark. A typical 1920s lighter looked like this and was probably carried around in the purse of a positively chic woman!"
