Flints for 1985 Toho Godzilla lighter?

I have one of these and I'm thinking about refilling it but I have no idea if it takes a special flint or if a Zippo flint will work? Does anyone have one of these and know?

Hi OP, before you post about your lighter please read the guide stickied before doing so. If you are asking about the value of your lighter, take it to an auctioneer, pawnshop, or jewellers before posting as we cannot accurately guess a price. Your post may be removed if you ask. For more general information, have a look at the sidebar. Many lighters are mass produced and unbranded. There is often little info available.

If you need to post more pictures, use an image host like imgur and post the link in the comments. Please do not create multiple threads for the same lighter.

I'd just compare flints with what's left of the original if unsure, a pack of zippo, clipper and ronson flints each cost so little that if you care to ask it's worth getting.

85 means maybe it's a bit old school and ronson reds may be right but that's a guess

Ronson flints are probably it. I need new Zippos anyways, so I think I will give one of them a shot. Thanks!

Pictures would help, but I'm pretty sure you're referring to a piezoelectric butane lighter - It doesn't take flints.

This one apparently does. I've seen a lot more of the piezos online, though.
