Evans & Stylebuilt Accessories, Angel, 1955

Stylebuilt Accessories Ltd. (New York) in cooperation with Evans presented in 1955 a very beautiful lighter. Evans delivered the lighter insert and Stylbuilt prepared the base. Stylebuilt is a family operated company which exists on the market for more than 75 years. It is famous for producing fine traditional handcrafted gift-ware and luxury bath accessories. Everything they made has a unique style, including this wick table lighter. The quantity of this lighter is not exactly known though it did not excess 500 pieces which makes it very sought after.

The rounded base has a dainty flower design and the high lights are two angels which are holding the globe. It is made from a silver metal covered with a very thin layer of gold-paint.
