Vintage Lighter Collectables

SOME OF THE ITEMS:

• Miniature Pistol Gun Lighter – An all metal body with a refillable butane valve at the base to adjust & replenish the gas. The trigger acts as the ignition switch to light the flame.
• Apple ‘Electro Match’ Lighter, produced in the 1970’s by Westminster Industries. The silver chrome stem & leaf design at the top is a removable metallic match wand. When you pull the stem upward, out of the apple body, an internal battery-powered circuit triggers an instant electric spark. This spark immediately ignites the fuel-soaked wick on the end of the wand, lighting it like a permanent match. To stop the flame, slide the wand back into the apple receptacle.
• Red Refillable Butane Torch Lighter – features a metallic cap to shield the jet nozzle from dust. The compact rectangular body is designed to fit comfortably in the hand.
• Novelty Hand Grenade Lighter – modelled off the classic MK2 ‘pineapple’ hand grenades. Made of heavy cast metal to mimic the weight & texture of an actual deactivated grenade body. Manufactured in Japan during 1960’s, the lighter pops open by pressing down the granade’s top handle/lever.
• Zippo Black Matte Pipe Lighter – model 218PL, designed for lighting pipes. Matte black finish, featuring a specialised wind-proof insert that allows the flame to be drawn downward without scorching the pipe bowl.
• Trench Lighter – resembles reproductions popular in the 1960’s-1990’s in a brass finish. Operates by flipping a small cap & sliding the outer casing upward before striking the wheel.  Listed as brand items like Camel cigarettes or military -style collectables.

• Miniature Camera Lighter – a mid-century novelty petrol lighter made in Japan during 1940’s to 1960’s. The camera’s shutter release button flips open the top viewfinder prism to strike the flint & spark the flame. The lens element is the screw-off cap to refuel. An extra feature is the small compass embedded directly in the front face.
• Crokroz Premium Round Retro Kerosene Lighter – a highly durable stainless steel pocket lighter featuring a vintage circular design & a classic sand wheel ignition. It operates using a manual flint sand wheel ignition & liquid kerosene fuel, providing a highly windproof & reliable vintage-style flame.
