For conditions, please review photos closely using the magnifying tool or zoom in. Lighter in good, used condition with minor signs of age, use, and storage related wear/pocket wear. Lighter has no fuel or flint, but in theory should work with a new flint and fuel. Both the flint and fuel ports open nicely, but take a slight bit of finessing getting back in properly. This is a design and not an age or condition issue. Otherwise, this piece of Chicago broadcast history displays quite well. Colorful and eye catching! If you have questions or want more photos, please ask! Thanks for looking and MAKE AN OFFER!
