This is a Vintage Evans Table Lighter with a Painted Wood and plaster Base. The lighter sparks well it is missing the screw cap for the fuel so we did not test the wick. The base is turned wood with a light plaster and paint. We are not sure were the base was made. We took close up pics we think it is Italy but we can't be sure, Please look closely at the pics the lighter you see is the lighter you will receive. This item is sold AS-IS NO RETURNS
