19th Century Austrian Cold Painted Spelter Table Lighter Formed As A Bulldog
A fabulous and very handsome painted spelter cigar lighter in the form of a Bulldog, beautifully executed in every way.
He retains his chain collar around his neck which joins at the top of his neck, where the chamber and strike can be found. The small chamber would have been filled with fuel the strike taken out ans struck on the rough channel along his hind leg, you can see this in the photographs.
An impressive size measuring 5 3/4” tall. Excellent condition with minor wear commensurate with age.
