The model, known as the \u003ci\u003eOriflan\u003c\/i\u003e table lighter, is particularly sought after and exceptionally difficult to find in this larger desk size. Production of this model lasted only a short time, making surviving examples especially scarce. Decorated versions, such as this one with lacquer accents, are even rarer and highly desirable among collectors. A true must-have for serious lighter collectors, combining rarity, design significance, and outstanding craftsmanship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Saint-Croix, Switzerland.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003ePeriod\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Art-deco, 1932.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: 195.6 Grams, (0.20 Kg.).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Steel, chrome, gilt brass stripes and green hard lacquer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eModel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Oriflan, desk variation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: H. 120.5 mm by L. 63.5 mm by D. 33.5 mm (4.75 x 2.5 x 1.32 Inches).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eHallmarks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Stamped with the maker's mark and signed as follow, \"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eORIFLAN THORENS SWISS MADE BRIT.

Initially, the company crafted phonographs, music boxes, and lighters, setting the stage for a legacy of innovation. In 1919, Thorens filed its first lighter patent, introducing a series of original patented models that have since been showcased in various publications and museums. The 1919 Swiss Utility Patent marked the beginning of Thorens' commitment to excellence in lighter design. From 1883, Thorens' collaboration with distinguished partners and diverse clientele has been a cornerstone of its success. Swiss Thorens technicians and engineers have developed numerous innovative features and groundbreaking inventions. Between 1913 and 1964, Thorens produced over 5 million lighters, including the iconic \"single-claw model.\" One of Thorens' most celebrated products is the button-operated \"automatic lighter,\" a revolutionary design that helped cement Thorens' global reputation. The precision and quality of lighters manufactured by Hermann Thorens SA have delighted consumers and collectors for decades. In 2024, Swiss Thorens technicians have relaunched the Thorens lighter business, introducing a new line of meticulously refined \"antique-style\" lighters. These new models, crafted with the same dedication to quality and innovation, are available exclusively through the official Thorens. No retailers have been authorized, ensuring that every lighter comes directly from the original source.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eLiterature\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Rob Wilkinson-Christian Wenger-Yann Thorens-Ramzi Bader. \u003ci\u003eLe Briquets Thorens, The Magnificent Lighters From Sainte-Croix\u003c\/i\u003e.
