The lighter is called a Dunhill Unigue lighter. It is marked that onthe bottom. Also has Pat No. 143752. It is sterling silver hallmarked on the inside, the bottom the very top and also on the flat top rim. The top flat rim also has WFW and 3hallmarks that look like a lion,  a panda? and another one that is hard to read as it needs to be cleaned. The front has a watch built into the front. When opened it has a little cut out box that the watch fits into. On the back of the watch  it has the numbers 163314. On the back it has raised up letters that read Good News London 1928. The letters at one time were all cobalt blue enameling. Only a few letters have enameling left on them as it has worn off over the years.  It measures 2 1/4 inches tall by a tad under 1 3/4 inches across and measures a tad over 1/2 inch thick. It weighs 77.4 grams.  The watch face is clean . The crystal face is raised out a bit and has only a few tiny tiny scuffs that are so faint  I only noticed with a jewlers loop. Inside when opened the little box that the watch fits into there is a deep scratch inside the hole. It is inside so cannot be seen. Front Latch works good, no damage to the hinges. When you open the front on the right side on the thick edge there is a deep cut or groove that is 6mm in size. When the front watch door is closed you can only see a tiny 2mm speck on the edge that is very tiny. On the back they did the same thing on the right edge that is 4mm in size. Not sure why someone did that perhaps they were testing the silver as they did not know the hallmarks meant silver. You can see by the picures they are very thin not wide marks. The front back and bottom have minor scuffs from age and use. On the back  top left corner by the letters there is a small ding mark.  The lighter part looks like it would work okay as everything looks like it is intact. The wheel is working and there is a flint in the lighter, No fluid in the lighter.  There is a little cap that goes over the flint and wheel.  The bar is straight the cap part is raised up a bit on the end that fits over the wheel and flint.  Looks like it might go down a bit more but I did not want to force it.  I gave a very thorough description of the lighter so any more questions feel free to email me. The watch winds freely and runs but does stop after a few minutes. It starts up and than stops when moved. Probably needs a good cleaning from sitting for so many years. The lighter watch is in great condition and a very rare item for anyones collection. I am starting bids at 9.99 with no reserve.
