    It is actually a cigarette lighter made to look like a Chinese Dragon teapot.

    It looks about the age of those pencil sharpener thingies. Refillable too. So 1970s?

    Good for lighting candles, incense, and a number of non smoking things also @KikoBlueEyes

    :D I have cats - poorly behaved cats. Nothing on fire in my house. Even my rocks are in case. :D

    Smart! I can just picture a cat walking over to it and whacking the top with a paw... :)

    That's no excuse.

    I don't smoke, and I own two cigarette lighters!

    I say collect them if you want 'em.

    Cigarette boxes are cat-proof. They're often fairly heavy and haven't any flames to knock over. I like tobacco holders just fine, as long as they contain no tobacco.
