This brushed chrome Kreisler petrol lighter, marked “Made in USA,” features a clean satin-finish body flanked by decorative vertical columns of repeating circle motifs—adding subtle symmetry to an otherwise minimalist silhouette.
Its squared proportions, rounded corners, and flip-arm mechanism are emblematic of mid-century American utility design, with a restrained style that remains timeless.
What sets this piece apart is its rare U.S. origin and unused condition. The base is engraved “Kreisler – U.S. PAT. PENDING – MADE IN U.S.A.” and still shows remnants of the original price label, further confirming its vintage authenticity.
This piece originates from an inherited collection of unsold retail inventory.
Dimensions: ~1 3/4" x 1 1/2" x 3/8"
Please note: we do not test vintage lighters prior to shipping, as regulations prohibit us from sending them if they’ve been used or fueled. Even new old stock often requires a bit of tender loving care to become fully functional.
