Is it a lighter or is it a camera?
Or is it both?
An exceptional piece of art you don't see every day...
Made by Suzuki Optical company.
They used 16mm film which was spliced in to two 8 mm films by a "cutter" that was delivered with it.
This lighter was never used as lighter because the gas would affect the camera parts.
