Presented for your consideration, a VINTAGE ALPACA PERPETUAL MATCH LIGHTER with an ADORABLE  long haired CAT. As seen at the pictures, the cute cat has a big dark blue color ribbon and is sitting in a pink color base.  Exquisite attention to the detail! Please refer to the pictures, they speak for themselves.
 
This perpetual match lighter is also decorated with a mini coin (11.50mm diameter), golden color, 5 pesetas value, wich was the tax of that time for this kind of tobacciana items. Please note: a rechangeable flint stone was placed at the right side of the lighter in order to be able to rub the perpetual match against it to get a small torch fire to light cigarettes or cigars.
