Ed, the cord on this one does not need to be soaked to "smolder. It does not have a smell that I can detect. No residue present to cause a stain.

My two favorites from the old days,,,,

Cigar smoker = a few lighters. : )
I like the Colibri in the second photo left and last photo. When you open the lid a laser comes on and you pass the tip of your finger through
the laser and the lighter lights. I am easily amused.

Two lighters, one from my dad and one from my grandpa.

I like old roller lighters. Check out the pipe of the day thread. And I think there is an old thread on lighters that I posted in as well...

Interesting,,, never seen one like that. Is it homemade?

That happens to be one of the best tobacco pipe lighters ever made. Hard to find an old one where the flint didn't corrode and ruin the works. I forget the name of the manufacturer. Probably come to me in an hour or two. ........ Was it Nimrod ? Anyway .........

Neat collection! Always was obsessed with sharp objects, and things that burn.....
I have my Grandfathers cigarette case lighter I believe it's made by Ronsen, one or two Zippo's. I'd love to get my hands on one of those trench lighters, John. They're just to cool not to have one.

I owned one of those back in my smoking days. It was a good pipe lighter.
