Lot Essay

Each aquatic scene was hand painted by Ben Shillingford when he worked for Dunhill in the 1950s, this makes every lighter and box unique. After his retirement Dunhill were not able to reproduce the quality of his craftsmanship and discontinued production making them highly sought after and collectable.
