Dim. 13.5 x 8.30 cm. The present limited edition lighter is the exact reproduction of a piece that was first sold by Alfred Dunhill in 1929. As with the original, each lighter uses petrol as its fuel. Giant Lighter are hard to find, leading to the conclusion that they were never standardized or mass-produced. A very similar giant model, from the 1930s, is illustrated in The Dunhill Petrol Lighter, A Unique Story, page 207, First Edition November 2004, by Davide Blei & Luciano Bottoni, edition Unique srl.
