Groovy textured 1970s art glass lighter set
Lighter sets are becoming a thing of the past in much of the western world, as smoking becomes less and less publicly acceptable. Rarity enhances collectability. We think vintage lighter sets will become a lot more collectable. Aside from being stylish and beautiful, and potentially useful, they'll have the cachet that comes from things that are naughty or illicit, somewhat like medicine bottles for drugs that now illegal but were sold in pharmacies in days gone by. Start collecting now, before the price goes up.
This set has a design that took our fancy and we're pleased with our purchase. We don't know who made it but it was bought in Sweden, so there's a fair chance it's Swedish. It's a mix of 70s "bark" and mid-century facet-cut, except that the facet-cut is really part of the moulded design.
