But it has a logo, isn't that the mid-80s logo? It really looks like that to me.

Nevertheless, it's just a simple freebie.

I'd rather have a fake B&O lighter than a real non-B&O lighter!! 😁

These and similar items like diaries,pens and ties were often handed out to Dealer staff as sort of "bung's" ie reward for some perceived achievement or other,in lieu of proper commission,and not intended for re-sale.Part of a salesmans "toolkit"!

As Martin say's,to be collectable,items need the distinctive B&O logo,and those items were intended for sale and brand promotion.

I know for sure the lighter is from B&O, as I have one myself. It was part of a B&O Giveaways program back 1985-1988, when I was working at B&O in Stockholm/Solna.
