Antique lighter

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Excellent
Description

This was my dads lighter that was given to me when he past away, I am not sure who he got it from but when I was little it was already an antique and looked very old too me. You spin the wheel with your thumb which creates a spark and then lights the wick. When you want the flame out you just flip down the lid cap which still snaps down firmly and accuratly. On the bottom you unscrew an insert and that is where you pour in the lighter fluid. It's estimated value is $2,500.

HELP-brass or bronze satyr children on claw monopodia tripod(candleholders?)

Category
Metalware
Condition
Good
Description

This is a set of (2) of what appears to be split-hoofed cherub candle holders.  I realize the pictures aren't great so I will do my best to describe what is shown.  One of the items has what seems to be a #6459 on the bottom of one hoof and a # 5 possibly on another. While the other item has possibly a #319 on a completely different spot on the back of one leg and possibly the #219 on the back of another leg.I know the description is vague but my eyes aren't great.  I do not know if these are brass or bronze(i believe brass).The detail seems very nice to me (but what do I know thats why I'm here). If anyone can give me an idea of worth or who made these i would appreciate it.
