| The picture shows three views of this Old Elgin American Magic Action Sterling Silver Cigarette Lighter. This lighter is not dated but it is old. It has an oval in the center that has not been engraved. The wreath around it appears to be carved or engraved. The ''Magic Action'' is in its spring loaded button. You push the button on the side and the top pops open as the flint lights the wick automatically. The outer case is sterling silver with a gold color finish. Some of that gold finish is worn off of the back exposing the silver metal. The bottom 2/3 of the case slides open to access the flint and to fill it with lighter fluid. It is marked on the bottom and inside as follows: (bottom)

BASE METAL The lighter measures about 2-1/8'' tall. It appears to be in excellent condition with over all wear as pictured and mentioned above. The lighter could be polished or the gold finish could be removed. 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. |
