Vintage Colibri by Kreisler Chrome Petrol Lighter – West Germany
Complimentary Ground Shipping on U.S. Orders $100+ and Priority Shipping on $200+
This polished chrome Colibri by Kreisler petrol lighter, manufactured in West Germany, features a smooth high-gloss finish with subtle rectangular etching on one side—designed for personalization or simply to accentuate its clean silhouette.
Its compact, squared build and hinged lever-action top are hallmarks of mid-century lighter design, evoking the refined utility of the 1960s–70s.
What sets this piece apart is its near untouched, immaculate condition, complete with the original price tag ($6.95) and model code (509) still affixed to the base.
The underside is clearly marked “Colibri by Kreisler – W. GERMANY,” ensuring authenticity and vintage provenance.
This piece originates from an inherited collection of unsold retail inventory.
Dimensions: ~1.75" x 1.5" x 3/8"
Please note: we do not test vintage lighters prior to shipping, as regulations prohibit us from sending them if they’ve been used or fueled. Even new old stock often requires a bit of tender loving care to become fully functional.
