Hurricane lighters manufactured in Bradford in 1930, at the same time with a Zippo, and their production ended by the beginning of 1940, unable to withstand competition from the Zippo Manufacturing Company. More common in Hurricane brass body, much less - with chrome housing. Presented here is an instance of chrome and more advertising label that is doubly rare.

    Forgot to ask ... And what there otkidovaniya device cover? Two plates? Or something else?

  7. kypexin - 07-08-2010

    Yes, there are two plates, but thicker and softer than for example in the park, so the lid does not "shoots" and on me-I-yagenko so open. As Bakelite, do not know yet.
