Authentic vintage table lighter in the shape of a military fragmentation grenade (iconic "Pineapple" model). A highly decorative curiosity piece, this model named "Combat P.G.L." was manufactured in Japan during the 1950s/1960s. It is made of heavy cast metal, giving it excellent stability and a highly sought-after raw presence. It bears the engraved patent inscription on the mechanism: D. PAT 14210 (JAPAN). Condition & Details: Overall condition: Good vintage used condition with a superb patina of time on the metal. Rarity: The original ring and pin are fully intact, a rare detail as these moving parts are often lost over the decades. The upper mechanism articulates perfectly. Ideal on a desk, a vintage sideboard, or in a library to add an industrial, militaria, or curiosity cabinet touch. Approximate dimensions: Height: 11 cm. Width: 6.5 cm. Weight: Heavy (solid metal).
