The geometry on this one is what caught my eye. It’s got that raw, heavy-duty aesthetic that you usually only see in high-end tools or engine parts. I’m helping the maker showcase this design—it’s entirely CNC machined and the weight feels amazing in the hand. What do you think of this non-traditional shape?
Serious post! I will pay the cost of the lighter, shipping and a service fee if you wish to have one of these shipped to the UK. I assume they'd need to be empty to be allowed to be shipped but I'll be able to refill it here so no worries there.
If you have a store by you which has these available please DM me!
Seems like they are done in a month. Am I tripping?
One side engraved niello with what I believe is a gold vermeil center horseman, and the other possibly from 18th or 19th century France. Unfortunately the center embellishment is missing from that side; you can see the old dried shellac that was used to adhere it.

The first is a vintage blank Zippo knock-off with a decal from 1972 and the initials B.K. next to it. The second is a Japanese Rolex (not related to the watch company) branded flat lighter, advertising an 'ALPCO' logo that I cannot find anywhere else. I don't really know the origin of either, but the art on the first one can be found in a couple other places online, one of which attributes it to Berney Karp, but I can't confirm that.
I stopped into an antique store, not realizing they were about to close. I grabbed these three lighters for five dollars each before I left, cause I didn’t want to keep them after hours. I thought the brass one in the middle was a trench, art lighter made from ammunition cases, but it is not. There are no markings, but the metal is too thin to have been a shell casing. Does anyone recognize it?
Serious illnesses forces me to quit collecting so everything has to go.
I have bought these for collecting and almost all sparks but I have not tested them with gas.
Let me know by DM if interested. I’m in Sweden.
A note: I’ll ship anywhere but it’s difficult and expensive to the new regulations about low value items.
Hi, so I have a Mosda 500, most likely from the 40s/50s.
I need to replace the wick and flint, most likely the wool too + filling it up with new liquid. Do I need a specific thickness of wick/specific type of flint to make this work before I make any mistakes? Any other advice regarding the other replacements is welcome :)
Edit: does anyone know what I should do about the stiff button? Grease or replace the screw/pin?
Hey guys,
I was trying my best but was unable to fill this lighter, I am unsure whether its broken or whether I am just not able to do it properly, after trying my best and being unseccesful i decided to take it to an antique lighters / cigar store the man there tried for a solid 5-10 minutes and said he really doesn't know how to fill it up, he says he says he saw some cotton like thing on the inside but its obviously a gas lighter as we can see from the tip. (the electric part works there is a spark)
When i took the middle large screw out there was another small piece of metal that does move and that the big screw threads into. but also theres a small black spring inside it and below that seems to be something like a cotton looking subscance resembling a zippo.
I would really appreciate any sort of help thank you so much already.
Received this as a gift if any one know the manufacturer or and info thanks
I'm new to butane lighters and I'm trying to get this one to work, but I can't seem to get the butane into the lighter. It just sprays everywhere and none goes in. The butane can I'm using works with other lighters and the spark in this one works. I've tried a number of different butane nozzle attachments, but none of them seem to work. Any suggestions?
Ive recently been doing lots of ronson lighters. I got into doing this after deciding to try and get a couple of my grandads old lighters going.
The ronsons i find fairly simple to fix. And ive found sourcing parts is not too difficult. However I have no knowledge of lighters beyond ronson really.
Can anybody recommend some other mass produced brands? Preferably petrol as sorting valves for butane can be a nightmare.
Here are two ronson table lighters I fixed the other day!
How do you fix the nozzle? Everytime I try to use this it sprays out the base of the plastic nozzle it worked great one time then it’s not filling anything just throwing butane everywhere i dont wanna buy more I got two faulty cans😅😥
Picked this up and an antique store and was told it is hand engraved and was brought home by an American soldier in WW2. Would love if someone could tell me anything about it or how much it is worth, thanks.
This is a Club Benson & Hedges Cigarette Case with lighter
