beautiful antique/vintage brass with amber gemstones (not sure if real) surrounding the outsides and the lighter portion being held up by cherub figures. The lighter is a great looking deco piece, it has a whick and flint and ready to go. The lighter is 6 1/2" tall and 2 1/2" amber to amber. This is a high class cigar/cigarette lighter - Makes a great Christmas item! Lighter weighs a pound and a half.
