This fine bone China Porcelain Evans 'Hitching Post' table lighter was designed and manufactured by Evans in the U.S.A. between 1956 and 1961. During the years of manufacture two different versions were produced with small changes to the bottom of the lighter base. The lighter was marketed as a gift set for a gentleman. The 3-piece set consisted of a lighter and matching urn and ashtray (no. EC310W1029 or EC-123). newest The lighter was also available separately (EC311W735 or EC-124) in white or black China. The Evans gold-tone brass insert uses a wick lighter with a red seal which is a patented fuel control. The base of the lighter in shape of a horse which is often seen on decorative hitching posts (it is a post to which a horse may be tethered to prevent it from straying). The China base is marked with the Evans logo. The entire body of this lighter is a very big fuel reservoir. This set is in good condition. Lighter has not been tested.
