Fabulous Figural Black Americana Electric Cigar Lighter Cast Iron 1930's Working

This is a beautiful piece of Black Memorabilia I have owned for many years. I have never seen another example complete and in working condition, which this is. This is a heavy cast iron piece in the form of a black man with cigar in mouth. It weighs 2lbs and 4oz. There is a black button in his neck which when pushed in causes the electric coil in cigar to heat and produce a light.

This was originally produced as a cigar lighter but, can naturally be used for both cigars and cigarettes. On back if his neck is the word "Elektra", which I have shown. It stands 5-1/2" high by 6" across, and a base diameter of 3. It has been re-wired at some time and works perfectly as shown.
