Description
A vintage Colibri of London pocket lighter, identified as the Electro-Quartz model. This single item is constructed from polished silver-tone metal and features a refined aesthetic with vertical linear engine-turned detailing and an embossed Colibri crest logo on the front face. The Electro-Quartz series was a significant innovation for the brand, utilising a battery-operated quartz ignition system rather than a traditional flint. The lighter is housed in its original black hard-shell presentation case with a white lined interior. It is further protected by its original grey cardboard outer sleeve, which is decorated with a repeating Colibri logo pattern. The packaging retains retail price stickers, including a later RRP of £79.99 as specified.
