Rare Lighter Sleeve Appraisal

Vintage Tiffany Jewelry Bangkok Souvenir Lighter Sleeve

This is a vintage silver-colored pocket lighter sleeve or case, featuring an embossed advertising design. The item is constructed with a rectangular body and a hinged flip-top lid, mimicking the form of a classic Zippo-style lighter. The lid features a central repousse oval medallion surrounded by sunburst rays and ornate scrolling filigree at the corners. The main body displays high-relief text for 'TIFFANY JEWELRY' followed by an address: '6/1 SOI NANA TAI, SUKUMVIT ROAD, BESIDE NANA HOTEL, TEL 58439, BANGKOK THAILAND'. The piece shows a significant aged patina with darkening in the recessed areas (oxidation), which enhances the visibility of the relief work. There are minor surface scratches and evidence of handling consistent with mid-20th-century souvenir items. The craftsmanship appears to be cast or stamped metalwork, likely silver plated or a low-grade silver alloy common for Thai souvenir goods from the 1960s or 1970s. Note that 'Tiffany Jewelry' in this context refers to a specific local Thai business from that era rather than the American company Tiffany & Co.
