Good afternoon! Lighter. Engraving, if I read «Juno» and below PATENT (although more on E F is similar). I found nothing in the net and do not understand them. Specifically, I do not collect lighters, but occasionally I fall into the hands of these gizmos. Help to learn more about her information. Still do not know how to clean and how to start, I guess I better not to do the most. The mechanism of the lid works well, but inside everything is very dumb and wonder.

There is almost an entire lighter (without the lid), but in poor condition. the stamp on it with some images and an inscription in English letters «Ministere of finences». whether it here in poor condition on the assessment you put do not know.

Thanks! Sincerely, Ludmila

You can even try to clean chemistry, eats off quickly and efficiently and without long soaking. A zazhigalochka cool and almost all parts intact, you can try to restore.

Most importantly, before any procedure, remove the old cotton wick!

Thanks! I had not even thought!

Lighter husband gave for the restoration. From poshamanil and have even the mechanism cover. By pressing the buttons it delicately hinged lid. Some Circuits already shining. In general, she told me with every step more and more like, even steeper my vintage Zippo (I constant no longer something to compare), pleasure lies in your hand. Now we try to remove the bright green and rust patina. Although I doubt the account patina, usually it is left to the antique things (within decent). With this thing what to do?

Lighter with more brushed, patina removed as much as possible there. Inside not clean, because only the upper part managed to remove and clean separately, and all that deep down - I do not know how and I'm afraid even to shoot.

Tell me, who are interested in whether she, as a collector's item? Somehow in the net all the information on it is not found.

Well information lighters are generally very small and you need to look at certain sites or books, and do not always find what you need. And the interest is all lighters, the more so if the device is not interesting for you, ozvuchte price ???

And if you take a closer look at the above, you can read -Cronos, Austria, 1915

You almost have it put up for auction, in lighters, alas, not so much liquidity, much less killed in the state, and will definitely buy it, those who have seen your post in this forum. (And who have a need for this model). the real price of it in this way from five to fifty dollars plus Perez. ozvuchte you lower the bar, and if there is interest among the participants, they wrestle, if not expressed an interest - to reduce the price or expose to e-Bay, although there is a product from Belarus would be of little interest, Êàî pidisyat th es dollars I think you can get Toko here (mozhit even two thousand rubles somebody will roll out). And in perfect condition or so working this lighter away from one hundred to two hundred vlegkuyu with e-Bay (but again, not from Belarus to postsovetskim spaces no confidence in the international community). In an antique shop price for it will be even higher, but there may be a few years she prodavatstsa.
