bubba1 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 from the other stuff i was able to find---this is just the cover. there was an electric piece (that plugged into an outlet) and i guess the "flame" came out through the hole!

Poplarhead Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I have seen a couple of these in past, had electric cords and lighter assembly and a base glaas part made of same glass that lighter sat on . Beleive were made by Houze and not Akro Agate but my expertise is not in this area. Just something I believe I read in past. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
