NDA, steep vesch! nravitstso.
Rather like Thorens and although there are some differences, so for example there nafig everything is closed and the distance to the wick less spring is not together but separately from the loop even though it's all so clear without my snot =)
but more interesting is another: who copied from whom the system, or with whom they have torn off together, they are too similar
Well, in my opinion Thorens with 20-year produced ...
Thorens started producing in 1920 in Switzerland, Nassau in 1911 in the United States. And the mechanism was invented in Austria in 1909. Thus there were several different models of lighters with the same mechanism. So here are all to be found, who is who :)
and if it is not a secret, what other lighters have such a mechanism?
Several of these were: Thorens, Nassau, PM, Nuton, some other, forgot the name. Take another look here for example: http://www.vintagelighterbook.com/html/all_lighters_.html
As well as similar mechanisms in MD, Select, Bengali :)
Do not tell me how often you can see the pattern on auctions (EBay.com)? Or maybe tell me where else you can buy a similar model?
Very much I liked it)))
is very rare, it is necessary to catch and generally have a good luck :) good luck :)
And where in addition to EBay can be purchased lighters?
I understand that a stupid question, but maybe there is not any, either at auction which is a fairly large selection? (About the hammer ;) but I know something I do not really like it))))
No, there are no other options. In the West, it is ebay (unless you take into account the "garage sale" and flea markets), we have a hammer or shop.vintagelighters.ru. That's all.
Hello All. I am new to lighter collecting, and I have questions about this table lighter. Where it was made? About how old is it? Where can I find more about this company.
It is made of 80 or 90% silver, and has Original AN patent made in CSR. I have great pictures to share, and would love to learn more.
Best wishes,
Stephie
