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 with automatic lighter lid on the spring: when you click on the cover opens 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, a little later fueled lighters steel screw through the hole in the bottom.
