Country: Japan

Pipe petrol lighter with the construction of 'jet flame'. This design was first patented in 1929 and improved in 1944 by the American company Beattie Jet Products. Lighter, in addition to conventional cotton wick is equipped with a thin hollow copper tube that passes through the insert and cotton filler. When bending the body lighted tube is heated by the flame of the lighter conventional wick, gasoline fumes inside the insert also heat up, expand and rush out, breaking under the pressure of a thin tube openings. At the output are light, forming a rather long 'reactive' flame side, with which is puff up. Beattie Jet - the most common model of 'reactive' petrol lighter mid-20th century, the other brands, like this Japanese Lighter Rogers, are much less common.
Scripto Vu-Lighter, 1950
Manufacturer: Scripto Inc.
Title: Scripto Vu-Lighter
Type: Oil Lighters
Material: plastic, brass
Year of release: 1950
Country: United States
Approximate cost: $ 20-70
Lighter Scripto was one of the first plastic lighters, and it allows you to visually estimate the amount of remaining fuel in it. Its mechanism was equipped with pumping fuel to the wick, for this is a special button on the lighter side, with the wick itself was constantly immersed in the fuel chamber. Such a mechanism virtually eliminates evaporation of gasoline, as in ordinary lighters where the wick was inserted directly into the fuel tank. Scripto - absolute champion of the tightness of gasoline lighters: Even now you can find copies that have survived for the 50-60 years old gasoline in the fuel chamber.
