An interesting if dangerous looking device! In the 1931 W. Bingham Company catalog, this item is described as coming in two colors—old gold and mulberry and sold for $3. To install the lighter all you need to do is unscrew the lightbulb from the lamp. At one end of the Tassel-Liters pull cord is a plug socket. Screw that into the socket from which you have just taken the lightbulb. Then, replace the lightbulb. To light your smoke, on the electric smoke lighter, concealed in the tassel is a small button. Put finger pressure on the button and the heating element glows red hot.
