Thorens single claw, 1914
Title: Thorens single claw
Type: Semi-gasoline lighter
Year: 1920
Country: Switzerland
Approximate cost: $ 50-200
Patent on a lighter Thorens was obtained in 1914, but the lighter was produced from about 1920. This is one of the first models of automatic lighters with a cap on the spring: when you press the lid opened and simultaneously strike sparks, light the wick. Wheel spinning when you open the lid with a hook that on early models Thorens was only one side of the wheel, hence the name «single claw». The earliest models had a plug for charging on the side of the end lighters, lighters later became refuel through the screw hole in the bottom.
