POSSIBLY A ONE OF A KIND TURTLE PEWTER TABLE LIGHTER

A VERY RARE AND POSSIBLY UNIQUE TURLE PEWTER TABLE LIGHTER.IT HAS THE GEOMETRICALLY ENGRAVED HEAD AND BODY OF A TURTLE WITH AN ALLADDIN LEAF SHAPED HANDLE. IT FEELS HEAVY AND IS WELL MADE.
JUDGED BY OTHER ANIMAL BUTANE LIGHTERS SEEN ONLINE IT WAS MADE IN THE MID TWENTIETH CENTURY IN SCOTLAND. I SAW SIMILAR BUTANE LIGHTERS IN THE SHAPE OF A HORSE, A SHEEP AND AN ELEPHANT. AND ALL OF THEM LOOKS TO BE RARE AND DEFINITELY NOT MASS PRODUCED.
THE TURTLE LOOKS TO BE CAST METAL PEWTER. THE BUTANE LIGHTER ITSELF IS STAINLESS STEEL.
THE GAS LIGHTER IS STAMPED 'GAS' AND IS REMOVABLE FROM THE BODY OF THE TURTLE TO ENABLE IT TO BE FILLED.
A TRULY MAGNIFICENT TABLE LIGHTER THAT IS DEFINITELY DIFFERENT
MARKINGS: NO OBSERVABLE MARKINGS APART FROM 'GAS' WROTTEN ON SIDE OF LIGHTER.
CONDITION: THE TURTLE IS IN GOOD CONDITION SHOWING VERY LITTLE PATINA. THE BUTANE LIGHTER WAS NOT TESTED WITH BUTANE GAS. HOWEVER THE FLICKER STILL OPENS AND CLOSES STRONGLY ALTHOUGH I DO NOT SEE A SPARK. HOWEVER LOOKING AT THE MECHANISM AND THE CONDITION I SEE NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD NOT WORK IF FILLED WITH BUTANE GAS.
SIZE: 16CM LONG WITH CORKSCREW 7,5CM HIGH 7,5CM WIDE
