Description

Presented here is a charming Alfred Dunhill Aquarium Lighter.

This exquisite Alfred Dunhill aquarium lighter, adorned with strikingly vibrant reverse carved Lucite panels, intricately hand-painted to depict unique underwater scenes, presents an alluring appeal to the affluent aficionados of rich cigars. The stunningly realistic depiction of pink fish in the illustrated example accentuates the overall allure of this piece. Finished with a gold-plated mechanism, embellished with the illustrious name “Dunhill” on the snuffer arm, this “Service size” lighter is a symbol of unparalleled craftsmanship and superior quality, making it an impeccable choice for connoisseurs of luxury smoking accessories.

On the base of the lighter, there are words that read: “Made in England Patent No 143752”

Lucite Panels

In the 1950s, Ben Shillingford worked for Dunhill, perfecting the art of carving and painting lucite panels to resemble miniature aquariums. We see today’s finished products here, with some beautifully unique designs making them highly collected.

This wonderful aquarium lighter has recently gone through complete service, so is in good working order. This version can also fit in your pocket and can be pulled out to wow your friends, unlike the half-giants, unless you have rather large pockets.
