Found this in my late father's stuff. It has been in a box for like 50 years.
Does anyone know anything about this lighter. Is it rare?
All information is appreciated
Thanks

Rare and special to Collectors of Olympics memorabilia.
E. Mueller in Berlin was the retailer. The lighter was made by famous Karl Wieden Solingen (KW on the lighter).
Hard enamel and rare Olympic memorabilia, but also in Tobacciana collectibles.
Do not clean it.

Received the message it was foe sale and to make offer; most likely deleted by the moderator because it violated CW rules.
It is not for me to judge but why don`t you keep this father`s lighter ? Selling it will not make you rich and for a dozen pizzas it`s a shame.
I didn't expect to be rich. I just thought somebody else would appreciate it.
I have a lot of things that I value more from my father.
It would be fun to know what it might be worth?
