Rare Vintage Figural Petrol Lighter in the form of a Poodle Dog made by Canichou Paris Circa 1930s

This is a extremly rare metal petrol lighter in the form of a Poodle with brass collar, cast to the base with the makers name CANICHOU PARIS, Circa 1930s. The lighter is made from a very cold heavy silver coloured solid metal, drilled to form the inners to fit, I have tried the magnet test and it does not stick. The lighter has fantastic detail and approximately 95% of the original green paint remaining. I have this item for many years now and have spent much time researching it to no avail, a true rarity in full working order, though would need the wick replacing if intended for use (this can be done if required!).

The Lighter measures 2.625" in height and is in Excellent used Conditon, and fully working (please see all photos).
