• Item Name / Description: Vintage 1990s Camel Cigarettes Dual Cigarette Case & Removable Gas Lighter Combo
• Design & Features: A sleek, metal container lined on the front with a black faux-suede/velvet panel featuring a small, embossed silver-tone Joe Camel medallion. The inside incorporates a spring-tension metal arm designed to secure cigarettes in place.
• Integrated Mechanism: The upper corner functions as a hidden dock hosting a matching, removable butane gas lighter. The lighter slides directly out of the frame for independent refilling and operation.
• Included Ephemera: Comes complete with its original paper User Guide detailing ignition, flame height adjustment, and refilling protocols.
• Condition: Excellent / Near Mint. The outer metal plating remains bright with very minimal scuffing. The interior compression arm holds perfect tension, and the suede facing is clean. The lighter is clean and free of corrosion, though it currently sits empty of gas per safety shipping standards.
• Value Factors: This specific model is highly regarded among collectors because of its clever, modular design. Finding one where the original lighter hasn't been lost or swapped out significantly stabilizes its price point. Having the original paper instruction guide included pushes its premium to the high end of its standard bracket.
