Imco Triplex - a "Volkswagen" of the world of lighters, the mass of the models ever produced. The exact number of issued "triplex" can not be established, but it is expected that the bill goes to the hundreds of millions. Overall, the Austrian company IMCO in its history since 1918 has produced more than half a billion lighters, ahead of all other producers, including the legendary Zippo.
The case of this pattern 1937 is made of steel, and the fuel cap - made of light brass. The capsule has a rather unusual structure, quite similar to the modern IMCO: it does not have the usual lower cap, instead removed the upper part of the brief, giving access to the inside of the brass bracket that holds the wool. Such a construction is not easy to fill in the usual way by pouring petrol from a canister. But it is ideal for field use - simply remove the top of the capsule together with the bracket and just immerse it in a container with gasoline!
Lighter equipped with a movable small screen, which you can pick up and close the opening windshield, thus adjusts the height of the flame. This is the first model with a similar IMCO moving screen on models Triplex he has now.
On a silicon tube has an inscription is not very clear purpose "5 m / m» - probably at the time of release of the model on the market simply had different sizes of silicon and diameter, and just in case this "reminder" talked about what kind of flint set in lighter. This lighter also told a little story about his former owner was worth it thoroughly wash and clean the rust from the hull: judging by the not too prominent a scrawled inscription on the side of the body (it is visible on the second photo), lighter once owned by the name of Mr. Schmieder.
