Hadson Blue Bird, 1950
Manufacturer: Hadson
Title: Hadson Blue Bird
Type: Music petrol lighter
Material: copper, brass
Year: 1950
Country: Japan
Approximate cost: $ 30-100
This is one of the very popular in the 1950s, Japanese music lighters Hadson. Arranged it is quite interesting: the mechanism, located inside the factory and is equipped with a stopper (the lever at the top of the winding key). At the same time when you click on the insert extends from the firing pin, which removes the stopper from the musical mechanism - so if you have a factory in the mechanism, then the melody will play herself in the ignition of the flame. The very musical mechanism is spring-loaded metal plate, which rests in the body from the inside. The body is made of very light metal and acts like a resonator for a music box - lighter sound volume is large enough (and a mechanism separately, being removed from the body, is very quiet).
Of particular value is also attached to this instance and engraving: it belonged to an officer from the U.S. Kadena Air Base on Okinawa, and not just an officer, a member of the officer's club.

Imco Triplex, 1937
Manufacturer: Imco
Title: Imco Triplex
Type: semi-automatic petrol lighter
Material: steel, brass
Year: 1937
Country: Austria
Approximate cost: $ 15-50
Imco Triplex - a "Volkswagen" Peace lighters, most of the mass models ever produced. The exact number issued by the "triplex" can not be established, but it is expected that the bill goes to the hundreds of millions. All in all, the Austrian company IMCO in its history since 1918 has produced more than half a billion lighters, beating all other vendors, including the legendary Zippo.
The body of the model 1937 is made of steel and fuel cap - of a light brass. The capsule has a rather unusual design, it is not like a modern IMCO: he does not have the usual lower cap, but instead removed the upper part of the short, giving access to the inside of the brass bracket that holds the wool. Such a construction is not easy to fill in the usual manner by pouring gasoline from cans. But it is ideal for field use - just remove the top of the cap with strap and just immerse it in a container with gasoline!
Lighter is equipped with a movable screen is that you can raise and close the opening windscreen, so adjusted the height of the flame. This is the first model of the IMCO with such a moving screen on models Triplex he has now.
On a silicon tube has an inscription is not very clear purpose "5 m / m» - most likely at the time of release of the model on the market just had flints of various sizes and diameters, and just in case this "reminder" to say about what is put in the Flint lighter. This Lighter also told a little story about his former owner, the cost of a good wash and clean the rust from the case: according to the not too noticeable signs scrawled on the side of the body (it is visible on the second photo), a lighter once owned by the name of Mr. Schmieder.
