August pick ups

Here it is and a brief description from the web on it

very interesting, vintage, figural cigar / cigarette lighter of Baseball Player in Batter's Stance. This Art Metal Works / Ronson (of Newark, NJ) lighter is sometimes referred to as the Babe Ruth (or Honus Wagner) lighter or "liter." Its base is marked with embossed lettering: "COPYRIGHT 1913 BY LOUIS.V. ARONSON."

That is the striker. That would be "light" and you would take out of the top of the head and use it to light your cigar or whatever you are smoking
