Very rare to find, mid-century, vintage, small, decorative side table on tripod legs (feet),
made of gold-plated brass and formica with an attached ashtray at the top, plus
a matching storage box and table lighter, circa 1950's - 60's, from Western Germany.
This is a most unique ensemble in that it's both a side table and an ashtray that comes with a both a matching box
once used to hold cigarettes and a table lighter.
All three have identical and incredibly detailed, ornate, beautiful decor to make a complete ''set.''
Their design features series of boxes, all of which have a row of miniscule seashells on the top
and bottom and inside, two fish in ''ying-yang'' positions.
The oval, formica tray or ''table'', has a ''faux'' rosewood/wood grain effect.
It's surrounded by gilded decor that compliments the design of the ashtray
and two matching pieces. The ashtray at the top of the table, has two levers
that open easily. When closed, it could be used as a cigar-rest.
All three legs are in very good, original condition. While elegant and delicate looking,
they remain sturdy and come with their original feet tips.
The ''pocket'' lighter is rather substantial and could most certainly be used as a table lighter.
Manufactured in in Western Germany in 1955, by Heinrich Malter, a company based in
Offenbach, it is known as the ''MyFlam 1000 Zunder Record. Model 397''.
(The removable part of this lighter where one refills, has the maker's mark and model # at the bottom.)
While it functions very well (the flame is currently quite strong), it seems to
require some adjustment, so one might wish to explore taking it to tobacco/lighter
expert. The lighter will not be refilled for shipping purposes.
The cylindrical box has a lid that seals perfectly. Inside, there's a cross-section of plastic
creating 4 small storage compartments, to store cigarettes, pens, or whatever one would
use it for today.
Both the lighter and box have aged, green felt at their bottoms, to prevent scratching
other surfaces.
This entire ensemble remains in excellent, original condition as it's clearly been well-cared
for over the years, with traces of age, use and a patina of time, commensurate with age.
It has been gently cleaned with respect to the original patina.
Whether one wishes to use as intentionally designed or for other purposes, this would be
a real conversation or accent piece to compliment the corner of a living room, den, office,
etc. Both the lighter and box, could be used as paperweights on a desk, as well
as coffee table decor. A truly fantastic set for all collectors and fans of tobacciana objects.
