Cigarette Lighters
Do we have any members that are into collecting cigarette lighters in general? Not just Zippos but others as well.

Re: Cigarette Lighters
Only Zippos for me, but I think TPK (Tom), for one, has lighters from other makers posted here somewhere.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Cigarette Lighters
Ray,
A few lighters were mentioned in the below "What Else Do You Collect Besides Pocket Knives" thread. However, not many.
I have only one old lighter, and a couple books.
Perhaps a new thread for "Cigarette Lighters" would be interesting?

It's always important to know what you don't know.

Re: Cigarette Lighters
Dan,
I have PM'd Tom but in reading the post in the link above, he was just thinking about getting into lighters.
I have a good friend who was cleaning out an old barn and found a Dunhill in the barn. In looking around Google and such, there are some very high prices on those. He is sending photos so maybe I can post some when I get them.

Re: Cigarette Lighters
I remember from when I used to smoke a pipe that anything with the Dunhill name on it comes with a hefty price tag. Whether brand new or well used.

Re: Cigarette Lighters
Holy cow, Ray. I have never seen anything like those. I did finally get some photos of the one my buddy found and I'll try to attach a couple.

Re: Cigarette Lighters
That's what I thought.
Took me back to my childhood; every home had a coffee table with a cigarette lighter and ashtray on it.
Take care and God bless,

Re: Cigarette Lighters
Had several but just accumulated, never (consciously collected). I smoked for 33 years but quit smoking in 1995 about three months before my granddaughter was born. Probably ten years ago, I sold all the lighters that had no sentimental value.

Re: Cigarette Lighters
First time I've seen a watch incorporated into a lighter. I have several letter openers and one money clip knife that have watches in them. I'll have to put them in a separate post.

Re: Cigarette Lighters
Ray, here is a Dunhill table lighter in the form of a lighthouse. It is available in case you want to jump into the bidding.

Holy Cow! I'm sure glad I quit smoking and that there is no smoking around my table!

Here's another one I dug out of my mechanical pencil accumulation Ray.Stamped Chase-Lite Japan.
Adventure BEFORE Dementia!
Re: Cigarette Lighters
At the risk of digging up a 2 year old thread, I decided that was better than starting a new one. Recently while visiting with my mom, she said she had some lighters that belonged to my dad. I know he had smoked when he was younger, but not at any time I can recall growing up. He may have even got a few of these from his father, but I'm not sure of that. I don't have much use for lighters, but since my dad collected these, they are special to me. There's likely nothing of value, but that isn't really important to me. I snapped a few pics to share...

Re: Cigarette Lighters
Cool variety Glenn. Happy for you and their source.
Re: Cigarette Lighters
If the "world's first Mach III air division" is a Zippo, it could have some value. But their sentimental value exceeds their monetary worth. A very neat and varied collection!
