A Dunhill 9K Gold Petrol Lighter by La National Paris
Description
A Dunhill 9K Gold Petrol Lighter by La National Paris
This Dunhill case was made in 1925 by La National, Paris, which was a French wholesale jewelry manufacturer
The case was sold to Dunhill as a blank and Dunhill used the blank and others like it to produce their very first run of watch lighters
It originally had a straight lift arm but this was upgraded during a later visit to Dunhill after 1928
The letter “B” stamped on the case is not a Dunhill stamp. It is a La National stock mark and we can not establish what it means as La National no longer exists
France, Circa 1925
Dimensions: Height: 5″, Width: 4″, Depth: 2.5″ “A” Size
Excellent Condition
