Self isolation has provided an opportunity to fill this display.

Here is a pretty pair of Muhlex I found recently. *******. Hier ist ein hübsches Paar Muhlex, das ich kürzlich gefunden habe.

This small kugel is unbranded but looks like a smaller variation of the larger marked kugel posted before. Do others agree it is a Corona also?

Also - I just noticed the flinting mechanism is similar to the Bentley, maybe an precursor?

Three versions cased with English silver.

Hi Joe. I am away from my collection for a few days, so I have only been able to make comparisons in photos so far. The mechanisms are different for sure, I am looking at other aspects: 1. Even though they are not the same part, in profile the shape of the two snuffers have a similar look to me - as...

In the United States, individual manufacturers competed for business aggressively using proprietary designs and consumer pricing. Because of this, I think the value and business-appeal of Draeger's patent would be greatly diminished if he sold the design to competing German lighter manufacturers. **...

Hi Joe. Have you compared this caselighter with the Brüder Eisert "Dios"?

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

Hallo Joe. Haben Sie diesen Caselighter mit dem Brüder Eisert "Dios" verglichen?

Hi Dirk. I have another Sarastro that maybe belongs in this category. I have two "ideas" about their origins. 1. One possibility is that Sarastro, besides manufacturing, also distributed lighters produced by other factories (similar to Lichtmann or TCW) 2. If Draeger was Jewish, another possibility ...

Here is the patent.

Thank you Joe, I am really happy to have a new Better lighter in my collection! (topic heading corrected)

Danke Joe, ich bin wirklich froh, ein neues Better-Feuerzeug in meiner Sammlung zu haben! (Themenüberschrift korrigiert)

Tom O'Key shared these document relating to the candle-version on Facebook and gave me permission to repost them here. From the "Catalogue of the Exhibits in the Bryant and May Museum of Fire- Making Appliances", Pg. 251. The patent attribution is a little confusing but I believe the patent holders ...

Can any any identify this lighter? I think I have seen it on the forum, but am not sure how to search of it. ********************************* Kann jemand dieses Feuerzeug identifizieren? Ich glaube, ich habe es im Forum gesehen, bin mir aber nicht sicher, wie ich danach suchen soll. DSC_0692.jpg DS...

For the bronze model, the pyrophoric material is mounted on each half-disc (10 charges total). These half-discs are mounted on a small platter that rotates. +++++ . Beim Bronzemodell ist das pyrophore Material auf jeder Halbscheibe montiert (insgesamt 10 Ladungen). Diese Halbscheiben sind auf einer ...

I'm trying to identify these lighters and wondering if anyone is familiar with their history and lineage. I've found variations of both shown in "Legend Of The Lighter". The version with the heart-shaped snuffer is shown as an unnamed model on p.29 and uses cap tape for ignition. (My example does no...

Here is a version with attached cigarette case. *********** Hier ist eine Version mit angebrachter Zigarettenetui.

Danke Joe, now I know another figure to add to the hunt.

I did not realize Ronson manufactured petrol lighters in Germany, I thought only butane lighters were produced. ****** Ich wusste nicht, dass Ronson in Deutschland Benzinfeuerzeuge herstellte, ich dachte, es würden nur Butanfeuerzeuge hergestellt.

This large Penguin is unmarked but I believe it was produced by Karl Glaser. Now I have examples of a Glaser Terrier,Elephant, Stein and Penguin. I wonder what other figures were produced? ******************** Dieser große Pinguin ist nicht markiert, aber ich glaube, er wurde von Karl Glaser hergest...

I did not realize the "sad part" was the mechanism for a table lighter. The pocket lighters shown are also marked as Orlik models, models made in Austria. ************************* Ich wusste nicht, dass der "traurige Teil" der Mechanismus für ein Tischfeuerzeug war. Die abgebildeten Taschenfeuerzeu...

Happy birthday Joe!

Here is the hallmark

The table lighter with curved wick hold is a new purchase. The mechanism is hallmarked as silver, I guess the rest is tin with copper accents? It seems similar to two other unbranded lighters I have, a pocket model and smaller table lighter. There are lots of differences too, so I am not sure these ...

I think you lighter is a Cygnus made in Japan, not a Quercia model.

Besides shape variations, Nimrods were also produced with different colorways and different types of packaging for resale.

I really like Nimrods. There are common versions, rare versions, and 1 or 2 variations I have only seen once. These are the 7 versions I know about.

Andrea - I have an example of this English Triumph also.

Merci Seb! I will make some comparisons with my English lift arms.

Can anyone help ID this table lighter? I have a few other lighters with this type of side thumb wheel. One is English, another Austrian, others are unmarked - so I'm not sure about this new arrival. I'm hoping the square axel that attaches the side wheel will help with identification. **************...
