This is an extremely rare and very seldom-seen cigar lighter with a figural cannon and a figure of a man holding the end of the cannon. The cannon is the reservoir and contains its original reservoir top. There is remnants of a wick. The box would hold the battery, and upon lifting the cannon, would create a spark with the figure on the front thus lighting the cigar lighter. This is an extremely rare survivor of early cigar stores and a lighter rarely seen, showing just minor oxidation to the nickel plating. The lighter is unmarked for a maker.
Condition: (Good - Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 15" x 8 - 1/4" x 7 - 1/4".
