Feudor Midget 18k lighter

Category
Tobacciana
Condition
Excellent
Description

Known facts to me:

  1. Feudor lighters were one of the first butane lighters (besides Flaminaire, ...?).
  2. Besides cheaper models (1950 FRF), they were making solid gold ones for 93,000 FRF as seen on this ad.
  3. $1 was worth from 350-420 FRF (1950-1958), so the price 93,000FRF was equivalent to $265 (1950) - $221(1958), which is $2480 (2011) - $1720 (2011) by CPI deflation
  4. Price of troy ounce of gold was $18.93
  5. 3. and 4. dont really matter, but are a nice info :)
  6. The lighter weights 62g with empty gas tank
  7. I got it without original box.

Questions:

  1. How many different solid gold models of Midget series were there?
  2. When was Midget produced?
  3. Was Midget before Skyt or after?
  4. What is a workaround of refilling the disposable gas canister?
  5. What happened to Feudor that it wasn't more successful in the future?
  6. What is the weight of inner mechanism + empty gas tank?
  7. How do i find out more of this specific lighter?

European Finely Detailed Miniature Pendant of Little Girl in Red Dress, Purchased in Bavaria Germany

Category
Paintings
Condition
Good
Description

Hello, I purchased this amazingly lovely little pendant at a Bavarian German second hand store a few years back while stationed there with my husband. I couldn't have paid more than 20 euro for it, probably less, but I could tell there was somethng really unique about it and I didn't think it was a print. I have since kept it in a suede pouch and have plans to get it professionally framed, but would like to get some idea of its worth for insurance purposes if nothing else. It appears to be an enamel painting on porcelain. There is no signature that I can see and no information about who the child is. There is a little wear around one edge, a few scratches here and there, but nothing that distracts from the painting, and the silver frame is very tarnished. I would love to simply have someone tell me a little more about it or how I might go about getting it officially appraised. Mainly I just want to know what it really is. I love that the child is so unique. She is not stylized at all. It is definately a painting of a specific child. Any information you can offer me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
The Marvelous, Mrs. D. :)
