I've been collecting cigarette lighters for more than 20 years. In fact at one time I have been a member of as many as 6 lighter collecting clubs at one time, world wide. My husband and I have consulted on several books on the subject and are well know to the older lighter collecting community.
I offer you a free service - show me your lighter and I will help you date it, identify it and perhaps even value it at no charge.
Please include a phot with your request. There are several free image hosting sites, such as imageshack, photobucket and auctiva.
I am also interested in buying large collections of older lighters that use liquid fluid. I do not collect Butane lighters, or lighters made in Japan, Korea, China or Taiwan.
Drop in any time to discuss lighter collecting, lighter club memberships, lighter shows, and repair.
Thanks for dropping in,
The lighter collector

Sorry but i have no photo capability. I have two lighters.
One a ronson standard with a crosshatch pattern on the sides and the lighter is linticular shaped.
The other a Longines that looks like the old standard chrome zippo only with USAFE on the cap and HUGHES at the bottom and an enameled emblem in the center, the emblem is white with a blue ring around it with a five point star in the center with wings forming the points of the star. The center of the star has a blue enameled circle with something inside ofit. Have you seen any of these.
Thanks Chris
