A Vintage Miniature Suit of Armour Table Lighter and Music Box - A decorative table lighter and music box designed as a miniature 16th-century style suit of armour. The figurine is constructed from cast metal with a polished finish, likely chrome or silver plating. The armour is modelled with a close helmet, breastplate, pauldrons, and full leg defences. The figure is mounted on a cylindrical black-lacquered base. This base features a series of circular apertures around its circumference, which serve as sound holes for an internal music box mechanism. The design is characteristic of mid-20th-century novelty smoker's accessories, frequently attributed to manufacturers such as Eric Wedemeyer or Hamilton Manufacturing. No maker's marks or signatures are visible on the metalwork or the accessible areas of the base.
