Grenade Table Cigar Lighter

A wonderful silver table lighter that is designed to be filled with a wick and flammable liquid, lit and placed on the dining table. When needed it would be slid across the surface to where it was required. They are therefore weighted at the bottom so although they would wobble, they would not fall over. The flaming grenade motif has long been used by various regiments of the British military including the Grenadier Guards, the Royal Engineers, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and the Royal Artillery. Hallmarked London 1895.

Dimensions: Height 10 cm/4 inches
