A striking vintage novelty table lighter crafted in the form of a British colonial-style spiked military helmet.

Made from solid brass with a detachable top and built-in lighter mechanism, this unusual piece combines function and form with an air of military tradition.

The front features a finely detailed insignia with a crowned lion crest, starburst design, and royal crown motif, evoking regimental pride and ceremonial heritage.

The helmet lifts off to reveal the hidden lighter mechanism tucked neatly inside the base — an unexpected and delightful feature for collectors or enthusiasts of military memorabilia.

A gold-tone chain detail finishes the piece, adding further authenticity and decorative flair.

Likely made mid-20th century, this unique lighter is both a functional object and a charming display piece that would sit proudly in any study, bar, or gentleman’s library.
