A superb table top lighter dating to the mid 20th Century. This excellent and unusual novelty example is formed as a fire breathing dragon. The body is made from cast bronze and cold painted in delightful Verdigris colours, highlighted with gilding. The lighter mechanism is held underneath, with the dragon 'breathing' fire from its mouth when the top striker is depressed. To the underside a makers mark is found along with 'Made in Germany'. Retailed by the great Alfred Dunhill and made in partnership by Erhard & Söhne and Consul. A wonderful talking point and usable piece. Maker :- Erhard & Söhne for the casting, along with Consul for the lighter mechanism. Retailed by Dunhill, London. Date :- Germany, circa 1950.
