Vintage Diplomat Swiss Gas Lighter with Box & Instructions | Made in Switzerland

This vintage Diplomat Swiss gas lighter is a classic example of mid-century Swiss precision craftsmanship, offered here with its original presentation box and instruction booklet. Marked “Swiss Made”, this pocket lighter features a clean, minimalist design with a brushed chrome finish and solid rectangular form that reflects timeless European industrial styling.

The lighter body is well-balanced and substantial in hand, with crisp edges and smooth mechanical action. The side-mounted flint wheel turns cleanly and produces a strong, consistent spark, indicating good mechanical condition. The lighter has not been tested with fuel, as is standard practice for vintage gas lighters, and is therefore sold as a collectible.

Included is the original Diplomat box, finished in white with gold branding, along with the original multilingual instruction booklet labeled Diplomat Gas – Swiss Made. The interior shows light age-related wear but remains intact and display-worthy, making this a complete and desirable collector set.

Condition is very good vintage, with light surface wear consistent with age and careful handling. No structural damage noted.

Ideal for vintage lighter collectors, mid-century design enthusiasts, or Swiss-made memorabilia collectors, this piece displays beautifully and represents a refined era of European accessory design.
