A collection of two novelty table lighters. The first item is a display lighter designed in the style of an antique flintlock or caplock pistol, often identified in the market as a Derringer or Modern Royal type. It features a black plastic or resin stock, a polished brass-tone barrel, and silver and gold-tone metal components. This pistol lighter is mounted on a dark brown wooden display stand. The second item is a separate ceramic table lighter featuring a rounded body shaped somewhat like a stylized fish or gourd. It is finished in a dark brown/black glaze accented with sporadic reddish-brown vertical markings. The ceramic body is topped with a removable chrome-plated metal lighter insert mechanism. No manufacturer markings or text are visible on either item.
