This art deco lighter is marked on the bottom "Baby Style Automatic Lighter Japan". It measures just over 1.5 inches tall, 1.25 inches side to side, 1/2 inch front to back. It has mother of pearl on the front.
I purchased it at an estate sale, so do not know the original date. Researching Raylite Baby Style lighters, I see reference to them being from both the 1950s and 1960s.
I have not tested it because it needs a flint and I have none. It is in vintage condition and will need to be cleaned. There are some scratches as would be expected and a little rubbing on the back as you should be able to see in my second photo. Sold "As Is".
Buyer to pay USPS First Class Mail Parcel shipping charges of $5.75. Shipping is from Nevada.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their “Delivering for America” plan in which they hope to become profitable. It’s a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we’ve got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the charges when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
