Vintage Sterling Silver Japanese Pocket Lighter by Taiyo Commercial Co. Ltd. – Geisha Kimono Engraved Flip-Top 925 Japan
Rare vintage sterling silver (925) flip-top petrol lighter made in Japan by Taiyo Commercial Co. Ltd. (marked clearly on the side). This beautiful mid-century piece (likely 1950s–1970s) features deep hand-engraved Japanese motif: a graceful geisha in traditional kimono surrounded by blooming flowers, classic “Japanesque” souvenir style for export market.
Key Features:
• Solid sterling silver body with beautiful aged patina (natural oxidation typical for vintage silver – adds character, not damage).
• Detailed etched scene on front: geisha with floral headdress and flowing robe.
• Ribbed gold-tone insert on the side for the striker wheel – contrasting nicely with silver.
• Flip-top lid opens smoothly; classic friction wheel and flint mechanism (untested / needs new flint and fuel to spark – common for vintage petrol lighters of this age).
• Hallmarks: “STERLING SILVER”, “STAR” (possible series/mark), and full “TAIYO COMMERCIAL CO. LTD.” – authentic Japanese maker known for quality silver accessories and souvenirs.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition overall – no dents, cracks, or major scratches. Patina and tarnish present (as expected on 60–70+ year old silver; can be polished if desired, but many collectors prefer original look). Mechanism appears complete and functional mechanically, but untested with fuel. No box or papers, but comes as shown.
Perfect for collectors of vintage lighters, sterling silver Tobacciana, Japanese export silver, geisha / Orientalia, or mid-century men’s accessories.
