Here two other variations, both are marked "Eclat G23".

*******************

Hier sind zwei weitere Varianten mit "Eclat G23" gekennzeichnet.

Now that 2 years have passed, I can show a version of the Tout Vente. My example is a little different than what is pictured in Olivier's ad, so we know at least two versions were produced. *********************** Nachdem 2 Jahre vergangen sind, kann ich eine Version des Tout Vente zeigen. Mein Beis...

I finally discovered the maker of the MK copy after 5 years, was produced in France by Monneret.

Designed in 1927 by Leo Potter, the Potter Matchless was manufactured in New York City. Credited as a prominent industrialist and financier, this is Potter's only known lighter design—though he has an unusual assortment of other patents to his credit including handbags, an industrial clothes iron, a...

Here is some basic info about Abraham Pollak and a link to more details and photos: Abraham Pollak was a little-known New York inventor and designer. The earliest Pollak patent was applied for in 1921, a utility patent for a mechanical lead pencil design. Pollak subsequently patented almost a dozen ...

Based on pictures others have shared, I think all four of these lighters were produced by Drollinger?

Here is an IMCO lighter that is new to me. The Triplex mechanism is marked "Made in Germany" so I think it was produced during the WW2 era. The base metal of the lighthouse has a silver-like patina but is not marked. I especially like the single red window that identifies the position of the wick wh...

Here is an unbranded pocket lighter I recently found on eBay UK. I have never seen this lighter before. Does anyone know something about it? *********************** Hier ist ein Taschenfeuerzeug ohne Marke, das ich kürzlich bei eBay UK gefunden habe. Ich habe dieses Feuerzeug noch nie gesehen. Weiß ...

I thought I had shown the Shawlite before but could not find a previous topic so maybe both of these lighters are new to the forum. The Perkins "Shawlite" is a manual lighter very similar to the McMurdo, the "Wonderlite" is a push-buttom semi-automatic similar to the BeBe & Barclay table lighters. B...

This Quercia desk set includes a Champion lighter with attached letter opener and a dual-function cigarette box with built-in blotter. I didn't realize the presentation box was so large until the set arrived; the Flambeau is shown for scale. ************************************ Dieses Quercia-Schrei...

I did not find another post for these lighters, so I'll show this new set here.

*****************************************

Ich habe keinen weiteren Beitrag für diese Feuerzeuge gefunden, daher werde ich dieses neue Set hier zeigen.

Here is a small version I found recently in France, I am curious what type of snuffer it used.

***********************

Hier ist eine kleine Version, die ich kürzlich in Frankreich gefunden habe. Ich bin gespannt, welche Art von Snuffer verwendet wurde.

The above link to Rex in the Lighter Libray is broken. Sorry, I must have changed something without realizing it. Here is a new link to his manufacturer: http://lighterlibrary.com/rexmanufacturing.php

From today's mail.

Here are 3 little pigs: an RK in front, a Robur in the back, and an unbranded match safe in the middle.

Nice Roland, I really like the crackle finish. They are the prettiest finishes Guinn offered I think.

When I searched the forum today, I was surprised to discover I had not posted any Guinn lighters before. Apologies! As a U.S. collector, I have grown-up in an environment where many collectors believe the world on lighters revolved around Ronson and Zippo. This is one reason I was so exited to disco...

I did not know Quercia produced for Hermes, please tell me more! I think you know, these lighters are close to my heart. I asked about the popularity of the drum in France because I have seen one or two cigarette boxes on French eBay before. Also, someone recently showed a self-described trench art ...

Joe - I believe this Worthpoint info is taken from an old Larry Tolkin eBay listing. I will ask him if he has additional info and/or photos. ********************** Joe - Ich glaube, diese Worthpoint-Informationen stammen aus einem alten eBay-Eintrag von Larry Tolkin. Ich werde ihn fragen, ob er zusä...

Excellent, thank you Joe! I have number of "very similar" unbranded lighters I've bought in England. Over the weekend, I am going to make comparisons and hopefully identify a few. :thumbup: **************** Ausgezeichnet, danke Joe! Ich habe eine Reihe von "sehr ähnlichen" Feuerzeugen ohne Markenzei...

Here is an Austrian table lighter I found on eBay. Now that it is in my hands, I think the mechanism looks very similar to other Lichtmann rotary lighters I have for comparison. ++++++ Hier ist ein österreichisches Tischfeuerzeug, das ich bei eBay gefunden habe. Jetzt, da es in meinen Händen liegt, ...

This version with watch uses the same snuffer shape but with an external spring.

*********************

Diese Version mit Uhr verwendet die gleiche Snuffer-Form, jedoch mit einer äußeren Feder.

I like lighters that use a horizontal roller to strike the flint.. This one is new to me, found on eBay in the UK. ********************* Ich mag Feuerzeuge, die eine horizontale Walze verwenden, um den Feuerstein zu treffen. Dieser ist neu für mich und bei eBay in Großbritannien erhältlich. DSC_1056...

Thank you Seb, I appreciate and agree with your observations. The ad is very small on paper. Viewed normally, the designs looked "almost" the same. But as I zoom in using my computer, I also see more differences. :lol: I have only seen four of these drum lighters, all are different. I think the dist...

It seems this model was resold by Dunhill c.1930

This KM is an aluminum & plastic table lighter. It's snuffer is made from the same type of black phenolic material as the removable base. ********************************* Dieser KM ist ein Tischfeuerzeug aus Aluminium und Kunststoff. Der Snuffer besteht aus dem gleichen schwarzen Phenolmaterial wie...

I found this L'Aiglon before everything stated going crazy with the virus and made some time to clean it up this week. Does anyone know if this is a Gaston Gaubert production? Besides the name similarity with L'Aquilon, the design seems similar to the Ben-Hur and there are manufacturing similarities...

Thank you Joe, very interesting! After WW2, Hamilton produced several lighters that were very similar to Demley and Negbaur lighters. Negbaur also produced copies of Kashie lighters, like the Dome Lighter. I'm sure these patents relate to this larger story somehow... The U.S. Kay-Ess trademark was f...

This export version of the K35 is marked with the name "Viking" (purchased in the U.S.). Was this name also used in Germany? *********************************** Diese Exportversion des K35 ist mit dem Namen "Viking" (in den USA gekauft) gekennzeichnet. Wurde dieser Name auch in Deutschland verwendet...

I bid on one of these lighters this week, but not enough...
