Lighter Scripto was one of the first plastic lighters, and it allows you to visually estimate the amount of remaining fuel in it. Its mechanism was equipped with pumping fuel to the wick, for this is a special button on the lighter side, with the wick itself was constantly immersed in the fuel chamber. Such a mechanism virtually eliminates evaporation of gasoline, as in ordinary lighters where the wick was inserted directly into the fuel tank. Scripto - absolute champion of the tightness of gasoline lighters: Even now you can find copies that have survived for the 50-60 years old gasoline in the fuel chamber.
