A ‘Hunting Horn’ lighter by Alfred Dunhill, originally designed and entered into their catalogue in 1932, the lighter had a patented semi-automatic mechanism, which lit by inverting. Two more incarnations of this model were created in 1939 and 1945, but this, the 1st series, is the most sought after by collectors. Height: 9 inches (23 cm).
