Correction! :)
Well, first of all not in 1949, and ten years later, in the 59th year. The owner was walking on the beach in Cannes and picked up a pebble and turned it in his hand and put it in his pocket. Later I found in the pocket of the same stone, and decided that the best form just does not come up with a lighter. As it has been brought to the design department. Konstrutorskoe decision was akin to the treatment of hemorrhoids through the eye - but still it was good. Hastily developed Butabloc E very tricky pipeline system and ignition, a real masterpiece of a famous French engineering. Dodgy system proved to be so reliable that now, in 2010, I have such Lighter with almost Butabloc-MBP totally usable. This is not a Japanese plastic shit, sir, yes.
Lighter received, who would have thought, the name of Galet, meaning "stone-pebble" (it is also technically a famous French - video) The starting, however, were asked to name Automatique, «auto", but then the name stuck Galet.
At the same butabloke was another model, Club - all the same, only semi-automatic, with a button for the gas to ignite and roll.
Hartman, how are you always zhzhosh :)) Thanks for the insight into the history, the amendment took :))
PS my way works too and burns, although the gas is running out, so that barely lit ... but still! :))
In theory - it can be like then fill problem, traditionally, as with everything in life - to find the right perehodnik.
Surprisingly, the French, apparently, knew the secret of the correct rubber - that Feuodor, that Silvr Match, that Flaminaire / Myon - still hold gas.
Inoplanetyansky Lightyear :)
It is, by the way, convenient.
According to the construction of the gas pipeline - it is true that the sayberpankovskoe - on the back of the center has butabloka valve. On the lighter - mate in a rather thick rubber cuff. And from mate - a Urengoi-Uzhgorod Pomar to the burner. Plus - a cunning mechanism strike sharply.
By zamorochennye comparable Lighter - Only Silver Match France - but it still falls far short.
How they managed to do so reliable - amazing.
Hello ALL
And by Hartman - question. He took zazhygalku- as if Flaminaire Galet, but then it bothers me ... and the skin, and a button for opening (for such a model she Zadie, and to my side)
Photos can put ...
Thanks (ačiū)
Naschet filling - I somehow managed to fill, butanbloc was empty
Welcome Wassia, I honestly do not quite understand what you write :) I think that your model is different from this one? And the pictures of course let's just forum.Zhdem!
but these biscuits their modifications finally nemeryannom!
I'm new to collecting, but for a year I have visited them already four different pieces, and even saw half a dozen (I only species). Butabloki without much hemorrhoids are charged with "mouth to mouth", ie through the burner, and in France, according to antikvarschiki they (butabloki to biscuits and similar Silvermatcham) are still sold in stores in packs of 10 pieces ... this and so often getting dressed with lighters at auctions this type of ...
