Vintage Shields Oil Derrick Table Lighter Well Figural Metal Black Wood Base

Novelty figural lighters shaped like oil derricks were a fun desk-and-den conversation piece, and this Shields oil derrick is a charming example. A tapered metal lattice tower rises from a black base around a central fuel cylinder. It would look great on a bookshelf, a bar cart or in a collection of vintage smoking and oil-patch memorabilia.

Details

• Marked Shields on the base.
• Cast-metal lattice derrick surrounding a nickel-look lighter cylinder with a metal top cap and striker, on a black-painted wood base with a felt-covered underside.
• Refillable lighter-fluid style.
• Weighs about 0.78 lb.

Condition: The silver finish is worn and flaking across the lattice, the inner base plate shows rust, the black paint is worn at the base edges, and the felt underside has a small tear beside the lighter. Sold as a collectible display piece; lighter function is not guaranteed. See photos.

The photos are part of the description, and it will be packed with care.
