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...

Hi Roland. Bowers licenced this model in the 1960s. It was made in Japan but sold with the Bowers logo in the United States. ************* Hallo Roland. Bowers lizenzierte dieses Modell in den 1960er Jahren. Es wurde in Japan hergestellt, aber in den USA mit dem Bowers-Logo verkauft. Bowers-TL100-76...

Here is my collection of Bowers lighters.

This Moscow wholesale catalog has several pages of different versions of this type of bullet lighter. It does not give a lot of information to identify manufacturers but shown the variety that were manufactured before WW1: http://lighterlibrary.com/1913moscowcatalog.php *****************************...

I believe this is a reproduction of the Ronson Adonis that was produced in Japan during the last +/- 30 years. I do not own any of these reproductions for comparision but the logos on is lighter look similar to the logo on other reproduction models from "the modern era". Vintage Adonis lighters manu...

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. **...
