Its a propane lighter isn`t it ??

yeah, it's a real lighter.  doesn't look like just a novelty thing - seems to have all the components of a working lighter

Plastic case would indicate much more modern. It's a cool lighter for sure though! I bet some rockabilly kid would give you $20 for it. I'm sure it's worth $10-$15 on eBay. Is the lighter all metal or is there signs of plastic as well? Any manufacturer name? From the look of the pictures, Adam's right. It's more or less just a novelty. But hey, those can pay off sometimes. I just bought an old McDonald's ashtray at a garage sale for about ten cents and it should fetch about $20.

the manufacturer is on the bottom i think.  it says "topla"

actually its all metal, heavy and feels real.

I found a number of lighters on ebay that were lucky strike lighters.  selling between 50-300 bucks.   None were like this one though, and none seemed to be in this good of condition.  

there is a tiny chip in the paint, like a car paint type ding on the front, tiny.  Rest of the lighter is mint condition, i don't think it was ever used.  

has original plastic display case for it also.  

got it at a garage sale!  

last picture is next to a normal sized Bic lighter for size comparison
