NDA, steep vesch! nravitstsa.
quite similar to Thorens though there are some differences, so for example here nafig everything is closed and the distance to the wick lower spring is not together but separately from the loop even though it's all so clear without my snot =)
but more interesting to others: who copied from whom the system, or with whom they stripped together, they are too similar
Well, in my Thorens with a 20-year produced ...
Thorens began producing in 1920 in Switzerland, Nassau in 1911 in the United States. And the mechanism was invented in Austria in 1909. At the same time there were several different models with the same mechanism of lighters. So there is no end to find someone who is :)
and if it is no secret, what is even lighter with a similar mechanism?
Several of these were: Thorens, Nassau, PM, Nuton, even some whose names have forgotten. Take another look here for example: http://www.vintagelighterbook.com/html/all_lighters_.html
As well as similar mechanisms have MD, Select, Bengali :)
Do not tell me how often you can see this model at auction (EBay.com)? Or maybe tell me where else can you buy this model?
Very much I liked it)))
very rare, it is necessary to catch and generally have good luck :) good luck :)
And where in addition you can buy lighters EBay?
I understand that the question stupid, but maybe there is not any, either at the auction which is a fairly large selection? (I know about the hammer ;) but something I do not really like))))
No, no other options. In the West it is ebay (unless you take into account the "garage sale" and the flea market), 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
