Alessi "Harry" Lighter Cover

This is a very interesting Alessi artifact in that it was not in production for long. Harry was made as an attractive cover for your lighter. He measures 8 3/4" tall and has a door on the base to insert your lighter in. It was designed by Stefano Giovannoni and is dated 1998. The problem as I see it is that it does not seem to work well with BIC lighters. The internal mechanism to start the lighter just doesn't work. He is still an attractive piece and will probably become one of the rare collectable's as time goes by as I doubt they made large numbers of it.
