Description

Add classic mid-century tobacciana style to your desk or bar top with this vintage 1950s Evans figural table lighter! Designed in the likeness of a traditional 19th-century "Cigar Store Indian" trade statue, this piece features a scout in a full feather headdress standing atop a stepped pedestal base prominently lettered "CIGARS & TOBACCO". Standing 8.5 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide, it is crafted from heavy cast metal with a rich bronze-and-copper patina.

The lighter insert—cleverly integrated into the back of the headdress—removes easily for refueling and servicing. The base is embossed on the back rim with "PATENT PEND.", and the brass lighter mechanism retains its original fuel and flint caps.

This lighter is in great vintage condition with smooth natural patina and light, age-appropriate surface wear to the finish. An exceptional collectible for vintage lighter enthusiasts, tobacciana collectors, or fans of mid-century Western and Americana decor!
