Vintage order Elephant Lighter ~ Rosenfeld by Florenza c. 1960's

Near mint vintage Rosenfeld by Florenza Elephant lighter with emerald Rhinestone eyes. This appears to be in unused vintage condition. The lighter came to me with no flint. I have put a flint in and tested the mechanism, and it works perfectly. There is no fuel in the lighter. The lid doesn't snap shut, as I expected, but it closes. I can't tell if this is by design, or a flaw.

In 1950, the Dan Kasoff Corp., a costume jewelry manufacturer, was joined by his son, Larry. They renamed the company Florenza, after Dan Kasoffs wife, Florence.
Rosenfeld was a handbag designer, also out of NYC, whose handbags have been exhibited at the Met. In 1960, Rosenfeld, a Florenza customer, collaborated with Florenza & designed this lighter & others, as well as many other beautiful accessories, such as figural pincushions, pill boxes, jewelry, cocktail picks, magnifying glass pendants, and much more.

This is an excellent & charming order vintage piece to add to your collection!
