Vintage Sarome “Tabic” Table Lighter in Black, Aluminium and Chrome, 1960s

A vintage 1960s “Tabic” table lighter made by Sarome and presented in a black and aluminium colour scheme with chrome parts. It’s a lighter, yes, but it’s really all about that very distinctive sixties look, and this item makes for a very interesting decorative object in its own right.
Measuring approximately 14cm high (5½ in.) and with a basic diameter of 6.5cm (2½ in.), the lighter is in good condition considering age and use. There is some minor surface wear to the black enamel and wear to the base, as well as to the underside of the aluminium sections, but overall it is in good shape. As far as functionality is concerned, it sparks, but has not been tested beyond that.
