Description
A Dunhill Lighter with an inset octagonal clock. The back of the gold lighter features the Rives crest of engraved lions, birds, and florals within a shield with a pair of eagle wings atop it. Stamped into the bottom of the lighter are a series of makers marks, including "W.F." in a block serif font and the numbers "9575" where the "9" is within a diamond shape. A script "L" within a circle and an unidentified stamp --possibly a large cat head-- are in line with the numbers. Written on the bottom is "PAT. No 143752" and "DUNHILL UNIQUE LIGHTER".
