This automatic cigarette table (desk) lighter has two different names. In the Evans catalog one can find the name "Magic Lamp" as well "The Famous Magic Lamp". It was made between 1951 and 1956 in the United States.
It was available in two different finishes: gold and silver electroplate. This wick lighter has very often abrasions on the plated surface even if it is boxed and new, see picture. The lighter is padded with green felt.
