I collect sterling silver lighters, and recently came across this wonderful piece and had to have it. I'm trying to find out as much info on it as I can. I've been told the hallmarks identify it as made in London, in 1907. The interior is nickle plated brass. It's pretty heavy at 10 oz. It has a wheel striker (working), a wick and a screw-in cap to refill the lighter fluid. I'm not sure what the exact use of this item was...was it part of a high end travel kit? Any idea what kind of value it may have? It seems to be pretty rare, as I've never seen one and plus the condition is incredible. ANY info would be greatly appreciated! THANKS! -Eric
