Vintage ASR Ascot Pagoda retailer Orient Red Colorway Gold Tone Table Lighter

This is a beautiful table lighter! This is the “Ascot Pagoda,” an Asian inspired lighter made by the American Safety Razor Company circa early 1950s. The red colorway of the lighter is made out of resin. They made three colors of this particular style, with this being the orient red with gold tone accents. It measures 2” by 3/4” retailer, by 3”. It is in good vintage condition. It has a great patina to it, and the flaws that we can see are wear and tone loss on the lighter portion, as well as the bottom part of the lighter. Please understand that this is a vintage item, it will have wear and minor scratches from previous owners. Please review all pics carefully as they form part of the description. Company hallmark, and Made In USA stamps are last two (2) pics.
Disclaimer: Because this was an estate auction find, we cannot test the lighter. There are no guarantees as to functionality. It might need new parts, or perhaps other work such as a total restoration. Sold as is, no returns.
