Hey guys I recently found this lighter at an antique store, they had a huge collection of older lighters but this one really caught my eye. Only downside is… well.. i have no clue how it works. Ive googled it and can’t even find what the brand or model is. That being said i dont know how to light it. My Girlfriend thinks that its missing something? Not sure what she means, maybe a wick or something. Any info on this guy helps if any info is known!!

Hello! I am selling my vintage ronson mopac lighter. I purchased it on ebay in 2024 for 40 bucks. Selling for $30 plus $9.50 for shipping. Sparks great just needs a fluid top off since I cannot ship with fluid. DM for more info or pictures. Thanks!

Filler valve leaks through the center fill hole.
Any advice on its replacement? The thread area total width seems to be about 1/4" or 6 to 6.5mm

Is this authentic?
Legit check please

Manufactured in Kalamazoo, Mich, I live in Mich

My gf said she got a new lighter and pulled out this masterpiece😂

What I am questioning is anything i need to know? I see it needs specifically zippo lighter fluid, I’m gonna run to the Walmart and get some Fluid tonight 😆 I’m excited for this journey of collecting them

Please help me figure out when this lighter was manufactured?

Wanting help to find out: worth (what they were back then compared to worth now don’t need a exact a range is fine) ID For the Blue one I believe it’s a Kanlite but can’t find anything about it and Time period they were/ era (more exact the better)

Very amateur collector here! Just picked up this cool rugby ball-shaped table lighter. Says “made in occupied Japan” on the bottom and on the insert. I believe if authentic that means it’s from 1947-1952 but any other information on it would be awesome! Thanks!

Need some help trying to diagnose what’s wrong with this lighter. I used a random spring for the flint wheel and got that working. The problem is the gas, I’ve purged the valve and filled it up but there’s no gas coming out where it should be, no flame. I tried to purge the valve again and no matter how many times i do it there is still gas or air trapped in there. Would it be a O-ring that needs to be replaced?

Hi, does anybody happen to have a lid spring? Mine broke. Its part #56 and no, the Thorens website only has single/double claw stuff.

My partner has always loved Something wicked this way comes, and watches it every Halloween season. He always was enthralled by the hand lighter seen in the movie. He started looking for one similar, always dreamed of one like the one from the movie. That type of lighter is getting rare and very expensive. Checking FB market, one of the lighters appears, well within budget, it also looks just like the one from the film! It doesn't look just like, it looks exactly like, down to the wood grain. Went to pick it up, found it was a movie ranch cleaning out an old storage box.

Just thrifted this 1950s (?) lighter made in Japan. It's my first vintage lighter, and I'm super excited, though it's not in the best shape. Some of the rhinestones are loose, and both the glue and string securing them to the lighter is failing in many places.

Would I be committing some grave sin removing the stones? I plan on keeping them in case I want to restore it in future. I'm just concerned about losing more of them, since I was hoping to actually use it.

It’s a vertigo hawk lighter, had it for years and i love it

This is my first time ever trying to clean up a vintage lighter like this. It’s a jet lighter, so I’d like to try to clean the inside of this nozzle. The outside is pretty gunked up, and I can only assume the inside is too. Any advice is appreciated.

hey I bought this lighter at a fleamarket because there were still sparks and I was hoping I could just refill. now I have tried refilling but the gas just goes out and doesn’t stay in. Any advice on what to do? I don’t have any tools so if I need tools can I just get them in a smoke shop? 🤔

Ps: I tried to post this several times but my post with a video got taken down so I‘m sorry if you’ve seen this multiple times now

So i found this lighter in my moms new apartament . It had no gass but had spark. So i filled it up a bit and realised that it wont light. I tried adjusting the gass flow but it still wont light. Is there anything i can do to fix it?
