A mid-century modern table lighter featuring a substantial geometric body of translucent emerald green acrylic or lucite?. The heavy block is designed with deep hemispherical circular indentations to all four vertical faces, creating a thumbprint or ice cube effect. A chrome-plated metal lighter mechanism is recessed into the top of the block, featuring a lift-arm action and a textured flint wheel. The metal rim around the insert bears some small impressed characters, though these are not legible as a specific maker’s name. The base of the block is flat and polished. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of 1960s to 1970s Space Age design.
