Dunhill Rollagas Lighter 14k

Watch collecting is mostly about timepieces themselves, but surrounding these objects is a whole host of other items that are part and parcel of the same world. Jeweler's loupes to examine said timepieces, valet trays to hold one’s “pocket litter” (to use an old bit of espionage lingo), lighters to light up that occasional Cuban cigar…we love accessories, and our offices are littered with them. However, we couldn’t possibly keep all these objects to ourselves, which is why we’re offering some of the coolest vintage finds right here, just in time for holiday gifting — whether to a loved one, or to yourself!  This particular find is a handsome, yellow gold-plated Dunhill Rollagas lighter. Developed in the early 1950s, the Rollagas was meant to be an improved version of a common household object, allowing a smoker to light his or her cigar or cigarette with a powerful butane-powered flame that wouldn't pollute the smoking experience. Plated in yellow gold and instantly recognizable for its 'barley'-grain motif, it's a true design classic.
