Furmula Magic Patent Jet Lighter & Cigar Cutter Set Chrome Square-Line

Welcome to Pipe Collectors Encyclopedia, your premier destination for museum-quality estate pipes with comprehensive historical and technical documentation. IDENTIFICATION This is a Furmula 'Magic Patent' lighter and cigar cutter set from the jet-age era, featuring the distinctive chrome and black laser-cut 'DNA' (Digital Numerical Aesthetic) square-line design. The set represents a functional art piece combining precision engineering with industrial luxury, presented as a deception pair designed to challenge collector perception through form-factor mimicry. HISTORICAL CONTEXT Furmula was a mid-century manufacturer of precision-engineered lighter and cutting implements, operating during the peak of American industrial design refinement. The 'Magic Patent' designation indicates a proprietary jet-lighter mechanism protected by patent. The DNA Collection represents the company's exploration of geometric modernism applied to smoker's accessories, merging Bauhaus-influenced design language with functional utility. This set exemplifies the collector's market for multi-function smoking implements during the 1960s-1970s era when lighter and cutter combinations achieved design prominence. GRADING & MARKS - 'Magic (Pat.)' engraved marking on cutter reverse - Acrylic window housing patent script identifier - Chrome finish throughout both pieces - Laser-cut square grid pattern alternating black and polished chrome - Original Furmula packaging present - Made in origin to be confirmed SHAPE ANALYSIS Both pieces measure approximately 3 inches in compact rectangular format with distinctive half-circular top profile and smoothly curved edges. The lighter features the sealed jet-flame mechanism, while the cutter reveals a centered circular opening for cigar preparation. Despite identical external form-factor design, internal construction differentiates function. BRIAR & FINISH This set features chrome-plated steel construction with laser-cut surface texture creating a faceted, gem-like visual rhythm. The alternating deep black and polished chrome grid pattern provides substantial light-catching capability and tactile definition. Finish achieves industrial elegance through precision engineering and geometric patterning. CONDITION REPORT Overall condition to be confirmed. Original packaging present.
