Lighterclub Deutschland

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. **************...

Hi Joe. Thanks a lot! I believe you are absolutely correct about the matchbox holder being the same part that has been modified - or maybe it was adapted for purpose by Berndorf. The fuel tank is encased on all sides by alpaca, so I think this work was done by a craftsman of some type. The parts of ...

Here are some photo of a new acquisition. The fuel tank is hallmarked as Berndorf alpaca, this is the only marking on the piece. I am not certain whether the entire piece is alpaca. It looks like maybe the silver is a casing over brass. I am especially curious about this because I do not think Bernd...

This pocket lighter has no markings or branding for identification, my best guess is it was made in Asia. Despite some wear from age and previous use, there is no brassing I can find so I wonder if the base metal is some type of low grade silver? ************************ Dieses Taschenfeuerzeug hat ...

This article shows some nice photos inside the Beney factory in England. ************* Dieser Artikel zeigt einige schöne Fotos in der Beney-Fabrik in England. 1940-ArtOfTheCigaretteLighter-p40.jpg 1940-TheArtOfTheCigaretteLighter-p41.jpg 1940-TheArtOfTheCigaretteLighter-p42.jpg 1940-ArtOfTheCigaret...

Here is a French lift arm I believe is new to the Forum. It it shown on p.173 of "Le Briquet Francais" under the heading SPP with very minimal info. Does someone know SPP? It is not an entry in Olivier's dictionary but maybe only manual lighters were produced? *************************** Hier ist ei...

Can anyone help me ID this piece? It is unmarked, purchased from France and has no tax mark. I have seen this lighter before missing the leather case and snuffer, but I can not remember where...Just because of the two-wheel design, I wonder if it related to the French CEB? *************** Kann mir j...

Really awesome lighter Andrea

I am not sure if I have shown any of these lighters here before, I could not find a previous post. I found a new example just before Christmas, so now I have a drum set. :D These lighters are not branded but at least one example is marked with the French tax registration number for Quercia/Flamidor ...

Over the holidays I was reorganizing my Austrian pocket lighters by manufacturer and would appreciate some help. I previously had the lighters shown organized by branding (JK, MEB, TCW, etc.). My impression is all of these models were manufactured by Kluss and the different model names (Bora, Hurric...

Sorry I am late to the party but I have brought champagne. Happy New Year!

Tut mir leid, dass ich zu spät zur Party komme, aber ich habe Champagner mitgebracht. Frohes neues Jahr!

I believe Flamidor was founded by Husson around the time of WW1 and the company was purchased by Quercia during the mid-1920s.

Roller Beacon Model "49"

Here is another semi-automatic variation of this design I found in the U.S. The lighter is marked as French but is not branded. It is a early, very simple variation of this mechanism type. There is no clutch, the sparking wheel is fixed - so the teeth of the wheel drag across the flint when fired an...

I recently found this NOS Evans Lighter & cigarette case set with instructions.

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

Ich habe kürzlich dieses NOS Evans Feuerzeug & Zigarettenetui mit Anleitung gefunden.

I've had this empty Whirlwind retail display for several years. Last night, I finally put a couple of lighters in it. The models shown are steel Whirlwind models produced by Ronson during World War 2. ***************** Ich habe dieses leere Whirlwind-Einzelhandelsdisplay seit mehreren Jahren. Letzte...
