The Benlow "Golmet" Table Lighter was manufactured in ca. 1940 in England by the Benlow Company which was established in 1933 by Benno Löwenthal. Benno was the brother of Julius Löwenthal - the co-founder of Colibri (England) and Ibelo (Germany).
The body of the lighter is made of aluminium so despite of its size it is quite light. It was manufactured in different colors like gold tone (picture), brown, black or even red. This wick lighter is based on a rollalite mechanism. Marked on the bottom:
