Antique Bar Lighter

[aj_houser]

I still after days and sleepless nights of searching can not find anything pointing to a value or where to even go to try to sell these things.  I hate to just place them on ebay if they actually do have a value to them.  But living in a VERY small town I have not outlet for an auction house except for the weekly junk auction.

AJ you can email photos and all info you have on your lighter to any auction house  - Skinner of Boston, MA. for example will email a reply in about 4 weeks  and if it meets their auction value they will give you an estimate of sale, if you decide to sell you can ship your item. All info is on their web site. as is with most auction house web sites. good luck  let us know how you make out.

Wendy thank you so much for the in site.  As you can tell I am very new to this, though I have found that I have come to love it! Thank you to everyone that has helped me in my endeavor so far.  And a for warning I am sure I will have many, many more questions in the future!  But I have felt very welcomed into this community of experts.  And very slowly I am even learning a thing or two.

Thanks Again

Art, you might want to do a bit of a search on Tobacianna (sp?) collectors.  Not only might you get lucky with learning a bit more about your 'lighter' you may also find a venue for selling to interested collectors.

Good idea sapphire lots of people go wild for antique tobacco collectibles and do collect only tobacco related items!!! search for some open forums like this one specialising in such and just ask   Art you are welcome great people on this site so so nice!!! and we welcome any questions you have.
