FILL HERE (on screw) The lighter measures 2-1/8'' tall. It appears to be in very good used condition with over all wear as pictured. The lighter could be polished, but that will be up to the buyer to decide. We have not filled or tested this lighter, so it must be sold as is as seen. It appears that it works mechanically and there is a wick, but the lighter will require a new flint and lighter fluid. |
