Vintage Antique Lighter, Reusable Windproof Trench Lighter, Cool Lighters, Suitable for Birthday Gifts for Men's Fathers and Husbands (Black)

Beautiful table-like lighter that works flawlessly! The quality of this lighter is equal and or better than higher priced items, a real value!

Not bad at all for the price if you treat it good, and keep fluid in it so the wick doesn't burn.

I thought the lighter was broken right out of the box. I was dead wrong. Here’s what happened. I filled with regular lighter fluid and pushed down on the lid release/striking arm. The lid flipped open but no fire. I tried many times with no luck. Then checked to see if there was a flint in it and there was. I tried to light it a more times and after many failed attempts, the lighter lit. But I couldn’t figure out what I did to make it work. A little more fooling around and I realized I was not releasing my thumb off the lever after pushing it row but when I did once (by accident) it lit. Bottom line is push the lever arm down all the way and the lid flips open. Then from the down position quickly move your thumb away. It sparks on the upside of the lever movement not on the down. After figuring that out the lighter lights every time. The spinner is fun and once I figured the technique out in one swift movement, the spinner spins as my thumb brushes by it when I release the lever arm.

This lighter never once lit. Not even a spark...I guess that's because the flint wheel isn't turning because of defective design. It does have a really cool spinny thing built in so that while I'm sitting here not smoking my favorite cigar, I'll have something cool to play with...and if that ain't worth forty bucks, you're just too hard to please.

First few uses were great but eventually it stopped working and there was no way for me to fix it in regards to wick nor tank. Not sure what happened but the fact that we cant add new cotton etc.... little confusing. Previous review: Beautiful and with a solid weight to it! Took some muscle and getting used to for me to get the flint to spark it but now that I figured that out, it's easy enough to use. Lady at the store where I bought my Zippo lighterfluid fell absolutely in LOVE with it when handed it to her to inspect so two solid reviews in one!
