Believe this is the 1860s? Thought I hit gold. Found it about 5 inches down at a house over 150 years old. Thought it was junk. Got home and cleaned it off and wow.
 
Yep, that would have got my heart jumping. It appears to be gold plated, can you take a picture of the opposite side?
 
I see them advertised as 1800's lighters but I don't think that style of lighter was invented until the 1900's (zippo style 1932) I'm guessing yours was made in Japan 1950s to 1960s. :shrug:

Still a neat find though.
 
The other side is toast. The gold plating only goes so far. You got to see the best side.
 
Howdy nalc472--

That is one very cool lighter! Congratulations on digging an unusual find. That's the kind of dig that can make your day:clapping: Best of luck and...

Happy Hunting!
