<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 8696673, member: 360&quot;]Lift-arm lighter. Yes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Very common during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. They started dying out in the 1950s. The majority were made in the interwar-era, ca. 1919 - 1939. The most famous maker was Dunhill, but there were loads of others. They were often made of brass, sometimes sterling silver, and if you were rich enough, solid gold. </p><p><br /></p><p>The OP&#039;s lighter looks to be typical 1920s styling. Very squarish and blocky. No wind-guard, or anything like that. Lighters with wind-guards didn&#039;t really start showing up until ca. 1930., with makers like ORLIK and ZIPPO, etc. DUNHILL made a windguard lighter ca. 1928, and I think that&#039;s one of the earliest examples of such a design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
