Glass Lighter Pink Lighter Facet cut
« on: March 13, 2010, 04:07:23 PM »
The lighter Measures 8.5cm high, Hexagon base 5.5cm from point to point.   The base is flat and show lots of signs of wear and tear.  There are no details under the silver base of the lighter.  Can anyone identify this please. Many thanks in anticipation.   :thup:

Sorry can't help with an id but was wondering if the glass is neodymium glass. If so it will change colour to a blue or green (ish) hue when under fluorescent light (strip light or energy saving lightbulb).

Hi john, I have tried this under UV light and Fluorescent.  There is no colour change.  I must say it is an unusual colour.  I have tried searching to see if I could find one similar or the same but have not been successful yet.
