Thanks for the Red book reference and showing the patent Joe, I forgot. :thumbup: About the friction and thumb wheel mounting - The mechanics of Fig.6 were not implemented. This is explained in the patent description: "In the modification shown in Figure 6, bar 15 need not be bored for accommod...

Merry Christmas Olivier. Do you know the date of this advertisement? The Eclair pocket model is basically the same mechanical design as the Super Flamidor pocket version. My impression is the pocket version of the Super Flamidor was replaced in the product line by the Eclair pocket model sometime af...

Hi Olivier. I agree the name displayed is an ambiguous way in the catalog. Since the manual for my pocket model specifically uses the name Super Flamidor prominently its cover, I am finally confident this name is correct. In the catalog on the 'page 4 and 5 spread', notice pocket and table versions ...

This brochure is not dated but I think it from the 1960s. ***** Diese Broschüre ist nicht veraltet, aber ich denke, dass sie aus den 1960ern stammt.

The Mastercraft is a hard-to-find U.S. pocket lighter I have seen in friends' collections but never had a chance to buy until recently. This example includes the original instruction sheet that reveals the manufacturer. The fuel screw is a replacement, I hope to find one with matched plating eventua...

I think these models have been shown before, but I did not find an older topic. I was especially happy to win this auction b/c it includes the instruction sheet. I have seen "Super Flamidor" named used in a 1935 Quercia catalog previously. But because of the context and my language ignoran...

Beautiful, congratulations! ****** Schön, Glückwunsch!

This unmarked table lighter arrived in the mail last week. I think it is German. Does anyone recognize the mechanism? It looks familiar but I can not place it... ***** Dieses unmarkierte Tischfeuerzeug ist letzte Woche in der Post eingetroffen. Ich denke es ist deutsch. Kennt jemand den Mechanismus?...

These pages explain the taxation of French lighters. They were scanned-and-shared by Jhaan Pool​ from the September 1929 edition of the French Ministry of Finance employee guide for indirect taxes and grants. Jhaan has also shared this info: French lighter taxation law was drafted in 1910 and taxati...

This is another table model designed by "Jacacier" c.1936. **** Dies ist ein weiteres von "Jacacier" um 1936 entworfenes Tischmodell.

Danke Joe!

:thumbup: Some of these lighters were produced in steel for the U.S. military during WW2. I wonder if your example is true 'wartime model'? This simple unembellished outer sleeve looks more likely for military production, to me, than other versions with logos and fancier finishes. Was your lighter f...
