Thorens single claw, 1914

Title: Thorens single claw
Type: Semi-automatic lighter gasoline
Year: 1920
Country: Switzerland
Approximate cost: $ 50-200

The patent for the lighter Thorens was received back in 1914, but the lighter was produced around 1920. This is one of the first models of automatic lighters with a lid on the spring: when you press the lid is opened and at the same time carving a spark ignites the wick. The wheel is rotated while the cover is opened with a hook, which in earlier models Thorens was only one side of the wheel, hence the name «single claw». The earliest models had a plug for filling side at the end of the lighter, and later became lighter refueled through a screw hole in the bottom.
