{"product_id":"fighter-jet-table-lighter-1","title":"Fighter Jet Table Lighter","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreat sculptural table lighter cast in the form of a swept-wing jet fighter. The fuselage tapers to a needle nose and bubble cockpit canopy, while a friction-wheel lighter mechanism is mounted atop the body like a raised turret — its knurled flint wheel and hinged snuffer cap doubling as the plane's dorsal fin. Delta wings are incised with fine linework suggesting flap seams and landing gear doors, a single nose wheel grounds the piece, and a swept tail fin with horizontal stabilizers completes the silhouette. Equal parts kinetic sculpture and functional object, this is the kind of novelty barware piece that defined mid-century desk and cocktail accessories — a nod to the jet age optimism of the period, when aviation motifs turned up everywhere from lighters to letter openers. It sits confidently on its own as a display object, wheels-down as though caught mid-taxi, and lights on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral other table lighters available in separate listings. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated at our Los Angeles Gallery. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49455939289302,"sku":null,"price":745.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0434\/5040\/0934\/files\/FullSizeRender_1__clipped_rev_1_2_8ed761ba-42e2-430f-aa08-f44f5bea9cda.jpg?v=1784657997","url":"https:\/\/merit-la.com\/products\/fighter-jet-table-lighter-1","provider":"Merit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
